Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono has been suspended for 12 games after he received a red card for a reckless on-field collision with Jesús de Miguel that resulted in the death of the Tenerife striker.

The disciplinary committee said Owono used "excessive force" in the collision.

I killed a friend in Texas high school football, it happens.
“Goalkeeper banned 12 games for collision that led to Spanish player’s death”. He was definitely playing goalkeeper.

I agree, when my kids used to play goalkeeper, I used to tell him they needed to be the meanest kid on the field, and if they weren’t diving on it and taking people out to get to it, then they were doing it wrong.
Modern professional soccer is absolutely lame beyond belief
It’s almost like the red card gets handed out if someone got hurt from in action that otherwise would’ve just been a penalty or maybe nothing at all
Whoa, I don’t ever recall you telling us that. How tragic. Must have been excruciating pain.
It was sports, as long as you did nothing wrong then it is just a result of the rough side of life in the male world.
In hockey, that is a penalty for embellishment.
Safe and effective? It couldn’t be that again, could it?
Thank you, a picture says 1000 words. And those three examples are all you need to know about modern professional soccer.
The NBA is starting to do this lame crap too
A couple years back a hockey player was killed on the ice when he took a skate to the neck, severing an artery. The next night the player who killed him received a standing ovation.
The video was horrific. Blood everywhere.
Well originally I read they were going to press charges.
But the skin pigmentation wasn’t correct.
Is that soccer or soyker?
Yeah, I remember intentionally avoiding watching that video.
Savage needs to be banned permanently and sent back to his country.
