Goalkeeper Jesus Owono reportedly considers quitting football after striker’s death

Equatorial Guinea goalkeeper Jesus Owono is reportedly considering leaving professional football after Spanish striker Jesus de Miguel died following their collision in a match on November 2, 2026. De Miguel, a Tenerife forward, died in hospital the next morning from what was described as accidental chest trauma; Owono, who played for Andorra FC, was sent off. Ana Maye, general coordinator of Equatorial Guinea’s men’s national team, said Owono was deeply affected and receiving psychological support. De Miguel was buried in Navahermosa on November 5, with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and Spain coach Luis de la Fuente among those attending; Owono’s family has reportedly also faced abuse.
