Andorra keeper Owono gets 12-match ban after fatal collision
What's new: Spain's federation let the 2-2 result stand and police have opened a judicial investigation into the incident.
FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono received a 12-match suspension from the Spanish football federation after a collision in a second-division match that preceded the death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel. Owono was sent off in the Nov. 2 game after charging out to meet an aerial ball and striking De Miguel in the chest with his leg, the referee's report said. De Miguel, 30, died on Nov. 3 after being hospitalized in intensive care. The federation's disciplinary committee imposed the maximum ban and also ruled that the abandoned match would not be replayed, leaving the score at 2-2. Spanish authorities have opened an investigation under judicial supervision. Owono said he was living through the hardest days of his life, while Andorra coach Carles Manso said the goalkeeper will decide if and when he returns to football.
