Aged 30: Spanish Second Division Player Dies

The Spanish LaLiga 2 club CD Tenerife is mourning the loss of its striker Jesus de Miguel.

"Full of sorrow, with a lump in our throats and unable to believe that this can be true, we at CD Tenerife announce the tragic death of Jesus de Miguel Alameda on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 8:00 AM," the club wrote on Tuesday morning.

Collision on Monday Evening

In the Second Division match between CD Tenerife and FC Andorra, the 30-year-old collided with the opposing goalkeeper in stoppage time on Monday evening. After the severe collision, De Miguel received medical attention on the pitch and was subsequently taken to the hospital.

He succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday morning.

Cardiac Arrest on the Way to the Hospital

During an attempt to clear the ball at full speed, Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono hit the 30-year-old, who was trying to win a long ball, hard in the chest area with his knee. The goalkeeper received a red card for his challenge.

De Miguel had to be treated on the field for several minutes before being transported away by paramedics. Shortly thereafter, the referee abandoned the match with the score at 2:2.

According to information from "Marca," the striker suffered cardiac arrest during transport to the hospital and had to be resuscitated.

De Miguel Dies in Hospital

De Miguel was admitted to the intensive care unit of the University Hospital Nuestra Senora de Candelaria. Initially, the club described his condition as stable, though serious. However, early on Tuesday morning, the announcement followed that his neurological condition had worsened.

Just a few hours later, CD Tenerife announced the player's death.

De Miguel played for several clubs in Spanish football and scored 54 goals in 205 appearances.
