The 30‑year‑old de Miguel suffered a cardiac arrest and died hours after the incident on Monday (European time). A vigil was held at Tenerife’s home stadium, where mourners left flowers and candles. Video of the collision shows Owono running toward the halfway line to clear the ball, striking de Miguel in the chest and head. De Miguel fell and remained motionless while teammates called for medical help. He received care on the field for more than five minutes before being taken to hospital, where he suffered a heart attack en route. Tenerife confirmed his death in a statement released on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 8 a.m. The club expressed deep sorrow and thanked supporters for their support, asking for privacy for the family.
