Andorra's Jesus Owono was sanctioned by the RFEF following his red card challenge on Tenerife's Jesus de Miguel, who died in hospital on November 3.
FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono has been suspended for 12 matches by the RFEF over a collision with Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel that ended in the player's death.
The incident happened during a match between Tenerife and Andorra, when Owono challenged De Miguel and was shown a red card for the collision. De Miguel was taken to hospital after the clash and died there on November 3, a day after the match.
The case drew attention well beyond Spanish football, with the circumstances of De Miguel's death being closely followed across the sport. The RFEF's ruling on Friday confirmed the length of the ban facing Owono, who will now serve the 12-match suspension as a result of the sanction.
No further disciplinary details were given beyond the length of the ban. The sanction closes out the immediate footballing fallout from a collision that turned a routine match into a tragedy for both clubs involved.
