Tenerife and Andorra were drawing 2-2 seven minutes into stoppage time when the incident occurred. Late in the 96th minute, a long ball was played away from the Tenerife area. The collision happened in added time at the end of Andorra’s visit to Tenerife. The fixture had been put back 24 hours because of the risk of torrential rain on the island.
De Miguel joined Tenerife on a three-year deal in 2025 and scored 11 goals in 29 appearances. He joined Castellón in 2023 and scored 16 goals as the club won promotion to Spain’s second division a year later. He was Castellón’s top scorer in that promotion season.
De Miguel chased it into space. Andorra goalkeeper Owono came a long way out of his goal, running towards the centre circle to clear. He jumped forward and crashed into the attacking player inside the centre circle. His knee appeared to collide with De Miguel.
He suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest and did not regain consciousness. Spanish media, including Marca, reported he suffered a cardiac arrest in the ambulance and was resuscitated by paramedics on the way to hospital.
De Miguel was left unconscious. Players from both sides appealed for medical assistance. Several of his teammates were in tears. Players from both teams were visibly distressed.
CD Tenerife announced the 30-year-old’s death in a statement released at 9:31 a.m. He had been taken into intensive care on Monday afternoon.
