Jesús de Miguel, a forward for Tenerife, suffered a serious injury Monday night when Andorra

Jesús de Miguel, a forward for Tenerife, suffered a serious injury Monday night when Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono struck him in the chest with his knee during a second-tier Spanish league match, and the club said Tuesday morning that his neurological condition had worsened, TN.cz reported.

The collision happened in stoppage time with the score 2-2, as de Miguel ran behind the defense into Andorra’s half. Owono charged out to clear the ball and, while attempting to punch it away in the air, connected with his knee against the Tenerife attacker’s chest. Owono was sent off, and medical staff rushed to de Miguel, performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation that restored his heart function before he was taken to a hospital. The match was abandoned and never finished.
