Review information is loading.
Tenerife returned to action for the first time since striker Jesús de Miguel died, marking his memory with tributes before and during Sunday’s 2-0 win over Ceuta.
De Miguel died on 3 November, a day after colliding with Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during a league match. Before kick-off, the crowd observed a minute’s silence, followed by prolonged applause. Play stopped again in the ninth minute as images of De Miguel were shown around the stadium. The same tribute took place at other Spanish second-division matches this weekend.
Tenerife forward Nacho Gil opened the scoring in the 40th minute. He held up De Miguel’s shirt, revealing a message underneath: “Demi, always in our hearts.”
