Spanish football is in mourning following the death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel at the age of 30.

The incident occurred deep into stoppage time of the 2⁠-⁠2 draw against Andorra. De Miguel was chasing a long ball when visiting goalkeeper Jesús Owono rushed well outside his penalty area in an attempt to clear it.

Owono struck De Miguel in the chest with his knee, leaving the Tenerife forward unconscious on the pitch. The Andorra goalkeeper was shown a straight red card.

Medical staff immediately rushed onto the field. De Miguel suffered a cardiac arrest and was resuscitated before being taken by ambulance to hospital, where he was admitted to intensive care.

The seriousness of the situation led to the match being abandoned, with players from both teams unable to continue.

De Miguel's condition later deteriorated before Tenerife confirmed his death on Tuesday morning.

Tributes have since been paid from across Spanish football to the player, his family and everyone connected with the club. The Spanish Football Federation also postponed Tuesday’s Copa del Rey and Copa de la Reina fixtures following the news.
