Jesús de Miguel collapses after brutal collision; Owono red-carded
Striker went down in the 98th minute after Owono’s clearance hit him; medical staff tended to him on the pitch for over five minutes.
Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel collapsed after a violent midair collision with Andorra goalkeeper Owono in the 98th minute of the Segunda División match at Heliodoro Rodríguez López on 2 November 2026, leaving the stadium in stunned silence.
Brutal impact and lengthy on-field treatment
The game, tied 2-2 and already heated after earlier sendings-off for Lautaro and Dani Martín, turned chaotic in stoppage time. Tenerife had forced a turnover and launched a counter; de Miguel sprinted from his half, outrunning two last defenders and focusing on a high ball when the goalkeeper rushed from his area to clear.
Owono’s clearance struck de Miguel with his knee to the chest in a heavy collision. The striker immediately went down and remained motionless on the turf as players from both sides pleaded for medical attention. Match officials issued a red card to Andorra’s goalkeeper, but attention on the pitch was entirely on the injured forward.
Medical staff entered the field quickly and worked on Jesús de Miguel for more than five minutes while the Heliodoro Rodríguez López fell into an eerie silence. Owono, who had been leaving the field after his dismissal, returned to check on the striker’s condition.
There was no immediate update on de Miguel’s condition at the final whistle; Tenerife and the club’s medical team later said they would provide further information about his health. The incident overshadowed what had been an intense match and raises fresh concerns about player safety in late-match aerial duels.
