FC Andorra star Jesús Owono has on Friday learned of the extent of the sanction handed down to him by the RFEF for his recent red card versus Tenerife.
In a story which gripped the world of football for all the wrong reasons, Owono found himself at the heart of a storm early last week.
After coming flying out of his goal all the way to the halfway line, the shot-stopper clattered high into the chest of CD Tenerife star Jesús de Miguel.
De Miguel was from here stretchered from the field of play amid horrid scenes, before being rushed to a nearby hospital. It was subsequently confirmed that the 30-year-old had been placed in intensive care, after suffering a cardiac arrest.
De Miguel, however, failed to recover, before tragically passing away on Tuesday, November 3rd.
And as alluded to above, 10 days on, Jesús Owono has learned his punishment for his dangerous and ultimately fatal challenge. As per a report from COPE:
‘The RFEF Disciplinary Committee suspends Jesús Owono, Andorra’s goalkeeper, for 12 MATCHES for his challenge on Jesús de Miguel. The disciplinary committee applies the maximum penalty provided for under the article governing acts of aggression.’
