Overview
- A late collision in added time on Monday left CD Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel unconscious after FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono struck him with a high knee during a contest for a long ball.
- Stadium medics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the pitch and inside a medicalized ambulance, recovered the player’s pulse and transferred him to Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de Candelaria.
- CD Tenerife later confirmed the player was admitted to the intensive care unit and in the early hours of Tuesday reported that his condition has worsened neurologically and that he has not regained consciousness.
- Referee Manuel Ángel Pérez issued a direct red card to Owono and, following agreement between captains, suspended the match; LaLiga competition authorities must now schedule the remaining minutes.
- Clubs across the league issued messages of support for De Miguel while Owono has faced public backlash, closed social accounts and said he intends to apologise privately as the incident draws medical and disciplinary scrutiny.
