Goalkeeper involved in fatal collision gets 12-game ban

FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono has been given a 12-match suspension by the Spanish football federation's disciplinary committee after his challenge which resulted in the death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel. Owono, 25, was sent off after colliding with De Miguel during the closing stages of the second-tier match between their two respective sides on 2 November.

The committee added the "nature of the conduct described and the accompanying circumstances" means that "the maximum sanction, a 12-match suspension, is justified". Separately, the federation has decided the game between the two sides, which was abandoned seven minutes into stoppage time when the incident occurred, will not be replayed.

The teams were drawing 2-2 at the time and that result will now stand, with a federation committee saying that was the "most respectful course of action, given the extraordinary and tragic circumstances of this case".
