Tenerife player in intensive care with injury
What happened
Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel, 30, died on Tuesday after a collision with Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono in a Spanish second-division match, the club announced.
Tenerife said he died at 8am, hours after being taken into intensive care; the club earlier said his condition had worsened neurologically.
The collision came in the 96th minute with the score at 2-2, when Owono rushed far out of his goal and crashed into De Miguel, according to the Guardian.
Owono was sent off, and referee Manuel Ángel Pérez Hernández abandoned the match.
Spain's national police homicide division has opened proceedings into possible involuntary manslaughter, a routine step after a death not from natural causes, the Guardian reported.
“I am so deeply sorry. Rest in peace, Jesus”
