Owono, an Equatorial Guinea international, collided with De Miguel in a second division match on November 2 while attempting to clear an aerial ball. De Miguel, 30, was subsequently placed in intensive care and died on November 3. Owono expressed "immense pain over the loss of Jesús," following the tragic incident.
