The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has imposed the maximum sanction of 12 matches on Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono, following a reckless challenge on Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel. The player died a day after the game.
A Dangerous Challenge
Owono’s tackle on the Tenerife forward drew heavy scrutiny, and the federation has now handed down the strongest penalty available for the incident. The ruling places the goalkeeper out of action for a full dozen fixtures.
A Tragic Aftermath
The sanction comes against the background of a far more serious outcome. De Miguel’s death the day after the match has cast a long shadow over the encounter, turning a disciplinary matter into one of the most sombre episodes in recent Spanish football.
