Spanish striker Jesús de Miguel succumbed to a cardiac arrest after a violent on-field collision
Owono crashed into de Miguel at speed, with the former’s knee hitting the latter’s chest right in the middle. Both players fell immediately.
Owono got up, but de Miguel lolled to one side and stopped moving as medical professionals were called onto the field.
The goalkeeper was instantly shown a red card and was walking off the pitch when he noticed de Miguel was still on the ground, so he ran back to check on him.
The club initially reported that he was able to breathe without assistance and was in a stable but critical condition. However, he never regained consciousness and was in the ICU when he passed away from his injuries on Tuesday, November 3, at 8 a.m.
Owono has pulled away from social media amid incensed fans demanding jail time
Reuters reported that under Spanish law, this is routine for any demise deemed non-natural, and is not a sign of potential foul play.
Owono is expected to avoid criminal sanctions and only serve sport-related penalties, said Spanish sports lawyer Miguel Galan, according to the Daily Mail.
“The goalie should be criminally charged,” one user said. Another wrote, “That keeper should never play again.”
“A m*rdero*s act by the goalkeeper. He should be banned from football,” a third claimed. A fourth said, “The keeper led with his knee up, knowing exactly what he was doing. He should be charged with m*rder.”
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were among the stars to mourn de Miguel
He is “very upset” and has deactivated his Instagram account amid the vile comments.
“His intention is to contact Jesus de Miguel’s family or someone close to him personally, when the time is right. He wants to do so privately first, before making any public statement,” said journalist Iván Álvarez.
De Miguel’s passing has drawn tributes from all over the soccer world, including legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
“He acted extremely reckless,” one user said about Owono
