The match between CD Tenerife and FC Andorra was halted on Monday after Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel needed medical attention following a collision. Spanish media report that the player was breathing on his own again after resuscitation; the match was not completed.
The match was played at the Estadio Heliodoro Rodríguez López. De Miguel was carried off the pitch and taken to Hospital Universitario de La Candelaria. The match was then stopped.
According to Diario de Avisos, De Miguel suffered a cardiac arrest after the collision and regained a pulse following medical treatment. There has so far been no confirmation from the club or hospital.
The opposing player was Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono. The available reports describe the incident as a heavy collision, but give no definitive judgement on whether it involved a foul or intent. Any sporting assessment must therefore be awaited.
The score was 2-2 when the match was interrupted. The Spanish league organisation must decide whether and when the remaining playing time will be completed. In such decisions, the player's medical condition, the stadium's availability and the interests of both clubs play a role.
For the football world, the incident is another reminder of the medical responsibility surrounding matches. The priority now is De Miguel's health. At the time of publication, no independent, detailed medical information was yet available about his further recovery or the exact nature of his injuries.
