CD Tenerife forward Jesús de Miguel was admitted to intensive care after colliding with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono on Monday 2 November during a Spanish second-division match. The Canary Islands club said the 29-year-old was stable but in a serious condition.
The collision occurred in added time, with the score at 2-2. Jesús de Miguel collapsed after Jesús Owono, who had come a long way out of his goal to intercept a ball, hit him. The referee suspended the match while emergency responders attended to him for several minutes, according to CD Tenerife and the EFE news agency.
The player suffered a cardiac arrest while being evacuated and was resuscitated before being admitted to Nuestra Señora de Candelaria University Hospital in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, according to EFE and several Spanish media outlets. Jesús Owono, an Equatorial Guinea international goalkeeper, was sent off after the incident and sent a message of support to his opponent through FC Andorra.
