Andorra have paid tribute to Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel, who died after a collision with their goalkeeper during a 2-2 draw in La Liga Segunda. The 30-year-old went into cardiac arrest following the incident with Andorra shot-stopper Jesus Owono and was rushed to a local hospital.
Death Confirmed After Condition Worsened
Tenerife kept fans updated on De Miguel's condition before confirming his passing. In a statement on X, the club said: "Racked with pain, with a lump in our throats and unable to believe that this is true, from CD Tenerife we communicate the tragic passing, this Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m., of Jesús de Miguel Alameda."
The statement added: "There are no words of comfort; there is absolutely nothing that can alleviate this feeling overflowing with sadness. We stand alongside his devastated family, alongside his loved ones, alongside all of tinerfeñismo that today weeps for this cruel outcome."
Andorra's Tribute
Andorra have also shared their tribute to the footballer, saying: "With broken hearts and devastated, we want to send our most sincere condolences to the family of Jesús de Miguel, to all his teammates, friends, and to CD Tenerife. Rest in peace." The club has changed its logo on social media to a black version of its crest in tribute to the striker.
De Miguel, who was born in Madrid, spent his career in the Spanish lower leagues, playing for the likes of Castelleon, Fuenlabrada and Unionistas before moving to Tenerife.
Wider Reaction
Tributes have poured in from across Spanish football, and the Spanish soccer federation has postponed two Copa del Rey matches and one Copa de la Reina on Tuesday.
