FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono has been handed the maximum 12-match ban by Spain's football federation after a collision that led to the death of Tenerife forward Jesus de Miguel. Owono, 25, was sent off during the second-tier game after the referee said he struck his opponent in the chest with excessive force. The abandoned match will not be replayed, and the 2-2 score stands.
