De Miguel was involved in the incident late in the match. FC Andorra goalkeeper and Equatorial Guinea international Jesus Owono had rushed out of his goal before making contact with the striker. The match was abandoned following the incident.

Spanish media reported that De Miguel suffered a cardiac arrest while being taken to hospital in an ambulance. Medical workers reportedly resuscitated him, but he later died. His death has left Tenerife mourning the loss of the 30-year-old forward.
