FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono has shut down his Instagram account after the death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel on Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Owono was shown a red card after he collided with De Miguel near midfield during a La Liga 2 match on Monday, Nov. 2. The striker suffered cardiac arrest and was immediately transported to the hospital after the collision, with the match abandoned.
De Miguel's neurological condition deteriorated on Tuesday morning and he ultimately died at the age of 30.
Owono, 25, has shut down his Instagram account, while his X account has been inactive for two years.
According to multiple reports from the scene, some fans chanted “murderer, murderer" at Owono while De Miguel was receiving emergency medical treatment at the Estadio
Heliodoro Rodríguez López.
After Monday's game, Iván Álvarez reported on Cadena COPE that Owono was devastated and was seen crying and praying in the locker room.
According to Álvarez, Owono planned to wait until Tuesday morning before contacting De Miguel's family privately.
In a statement, FC Andorra said: "With heavy hearts and devastated, we would like to send our most sincere condolences to the family of Jesús de Miguel, to all his colleagues and friends, and to CD Tenerife."
