The Spanish Football Federation’s disciplinary committee announced this.

It was during extra time in a Spanish second-division match on November 2 that Owono came out at high speed and collided with de Miguel.

After suffering cardiac arrest in the collision, de Miguel was initially said to be in “stable but serious” condition. The following day, it was announced that he had died, aged 30.

The Andorran goalkeeper was shown a red card for the incident. The day after de Miguel’s death, Owono said it was “the worst day” of his life.

“I find it difficult to find the words, and it is very difficult for me to deal with what has happened. I feel immense pain after the loss of Jesús,” he said in a statement.
