Tenerife return to action for the first time since striker Jesus de Miguel died, beating Ceuta 2-0 at home after emotional tributes before and during the match. Multiple outlets report that midfielder Nacho Gil marked the occasion by holding up De Miguel’s shirt after scoring Tenerife’s opening goal shortly before halftime, as players, staff and fans observe tributes throughout the game.
The reports also describe the circumstances of De Miguel’s death and the moments leading up to the tributes. The Independent and other outlets say he died in hospital after a collision with Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono during a Spanish second-tier match on 3 November. Channel NewsAsia and BBC Sport similarly frame the day as an emotional return to the pitch.
Some outlets add match detail, including the goalscorers. The Athletic and Yahoo Sports, for example, specify Tenerife’s 2-0 scoreline and cite goals by Nacho Gil and Neal Viereck, while Yahoo Sports/AP details the jersey message players wore. Overall, the coverage largely agrees on the core elements: Tenerife’s first game since De Miguel’s death, the 2-0 win over Ceuta, and the tributes connected to the striker.
