Spanish football authorities imposed the maximum suspension on Jesus Owono following his mid-match collision with Jesus de Miguel, which resulted in the 30-year-old forward's death in intensive care the following day. A referee report established that the goalkeeper used excessive force, prompting an additional judicial investigation by Spanish police. The tragedy has shaken Spanish soccer, drawing figures such as national team coach Luis de la Fuente and Real Madrid President Florentino Perez to the funeral. Owono has since pulled out of international competition with Equatorial Guinea while his club gives him time to decide on his sporting future.
