Tragedy has struck Spanish football following the death of Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel at the age of 30.

The forward suffered severe head and chest injuries during a heavy collision with FC Andorra’s goalkeeper, who was sent off for the challenge.

De Miguel collapsed on the pitch and received emergency treatment while visibly shaken players and fans looked on. Reports indicate he suffered a cardiac arrest in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, where paramedics managed to resuscitate him. Although his condition was initially reported as stable but serious on Monday, his health rapidly deteriorated overnight.

Tenerife officially announced his tragic passing early Tuesday morning. The Spanish Football Federation has postponed scheduled Spanish Cup fixtures as the entire football community mourns the loss of the respected player, while authorities begin further investigations into the exact cause of death.

Difficult words: cardiac arrest (a sudden loss of heart function, breathing, and consciousness), deteriorate (to become progressively worse in health, quality, or condition), fixture (a sports match or event that has been arranged to take place on a specific date).
