Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono was suspended for 12 games after his reckless on-field collision with Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel, who died the day after their clash.
On Friday, the Spanish soccer federation's disciplinary committee issued the suspension and concluded that Owono used excessive force in the collision. De Miguel was chasing a high ball in midfield when Owono rushed far outside his area and struck him in the chest. The 30-year-old suffered cardiac arrest and died. Owono expressed remorse and offered condolences to De Miguel's family. Spanish police opened an investigation into possible involuntary manslaughter, though criminal proceedings were unlikely. Andorra coach Carles Manso noted that Owono would decide when he feels ready to play again.
