| […It’s a pivotal moment—he finds Herrera out wide. Herrera’s first-time pass is off the mark, but Lautaro Blanco is quick to react, clearing with his left.

González Pírez steals it from Merentiel | | Gonzalo Vidal No agrees/disagrees | |
| Mistranslations The phrase "to be up" doesn't sound natural in English to describe cheering someone on. Furthermore, the sports commentator specifically mentions "los charrúa de Boca," which refers to the Uruguayan players in Boca, in this case, he specifically refers to the Cavani-Merentiel duo. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
put the assist in | Mistranslations The phrase "to put the assist in" is used to describe a player making an assist, and that was done by Merentiel. | Gonzalo Vidal No agrees/disagrees | |
+1 he was one-on-one with Armani, beating the world-champion goalkeeper | Mistranslations This seems to say that Cavani beat Armani, i.e., Cavani kicked and Armani wasn't able to block the shot, when it was the other way around. | Gonzalo Vidal | |

+1 popular team and the team of those in the first-row seats | Mistranslations The source text is not referring to the teams of each group of fans, but to the fans sitting in different areas of the stadium. The commentator refers to fans in the stands, or less exclusive areas, and fans in the seats, or more exclusive areas, of the stadium. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| ...Keep on him, it has opened up for Herrera. Herrera makes a bad play to start, the ball's out, Lautaro Blanco hones in on it from the left. There's a struggle at centre field, Gonzalez Pirez steals it away from Merentiel. Merentiel sends it to Cavani, Cavani picks it up just inside the area to go head to head with Armani. Cavani shoots, it's stopped by Armani. Goal Merentiel! Goal Boca! Goal! Goal Boca! Goal! Goal! Goal Boca! Miguel Merentiel. Bravo to the Charruas of Boca.

| MistranslationsAt 4:31 the frame changes to the instant when a River player seems to break free from two Boca players, presumably after passing it wide to Herrera, who then loses possession to Boca's Lautaro Blanco. Neither squad is close to scoring at that moment.Link: https://youtu.be/NJdXfCzI52M?si=P4c2ltpsbRWA58KJ&t=271 | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| Mistranslations Although sports sites seem to agree that Lautaro Blanco plays mainly with his left foot, the source text merely mentions that he clears the ball with his left foot. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
He | Mistranslations Who fights? The source text and the video make it clear that González Pírez is dueling for the ball. | Gonzalo Vidal No agrees/disagrees | |
This is ending with Cavani’s goal. It’s ending with Cavani’s goal | Syntax | Marian Vieyra No agrees/disagrees | |
| Other Poor term selection. No such term is used to designate either the penalty area, a.k.a. "the box" (where Cavani engages), nor the goal area ("little box" or "6-yard box"). | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| Mistranslations Used mainly with the verb "dance," it does not accurately describe the moment when Cavani engages the ball nor when he shoots at the goal. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| Mistranslations Cavani does not kick, or aim, the ball at Armani. He aims at the goal, and Armani blocks it. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
cheek to cheek | Mistranslations Used mainly with the verb "dance," it does not accurately describe the moment when Cavani engages the ball nor when he shoots at the goal. | Gonzalo Vidal No agrees/disagrees | |
+1 Boca to fill it with hope | Mistranslations Boca does not perform the action. Merentiel's predictable goal will fill Boca with hope. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
22 | Grammar errors AI transcription error transferred to translation. The number should be spelled out at the beginning of a sentence. | Gonzalo Vidal No agrees/disagrees | |
+1 The standing room area ticket holder and the seated area ticket holder | Other Too wordy and stilted. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| Mistranslations This seems to be a calque error of the Spanish "unidos POR la misma pasión." The preposition "by" sounds more natural because the commentator is talking about a shared experience (passion) instead of a shared objective ("United for the common good").. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| [...Take a look, Herrera has an opening. Herrera looks to be doing badly at first, Lautaro Blanco’s left-hand kick takes the ball. A struggle happening in the middle of the field, Gonzalez Perez steals from Merentiel. Cavani will end up scoring, Cavani will score. Merentiel will have to get it for Cavani, Cavani planted himself in the opening right next to Armani. Cavani hit it, Armani hit it. Merentiel, goal! Boca scores! Goal! Boca scores! Goal! Goal!

| Inconsistencies A kick with the left hand? The combination of "hand" and "kick" is rather odd. I've seen it in martial arts, but not soccer (left/right-footed). | Gonzalo Vidal | |
+1 Cavani hit it, Armani hit it | Mistranslations There are more specific terms for each player's actions (Cavani: kick, shoot, etc.; Armani: block, stop, etc.). | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| Mistranslations Cavani didn't stay by Armani's side, he went head-to-head with the goalie. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
+1 he won against the world champion goalie | Mistranslations Armani blocked or deflected Cavani's shot, so the goalie would be the winner in this situationi. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
+2 the rebound fell to Merentiel as if he’d stripped away the goalie’s hopes | Omission No mention of the wide open goal. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| Grammar errors AI transcription error transferred to translation. The number should be spelled out at the beginning of a sentence. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| Mistranslations Calque error of Spanish "segundo tiempo." In English, the term "half" is the most common way to refer to the second part of the match, e.g., "second half." | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| Spelling "Cordova" is mainly used as a last name. Both cities in Argentina and Spain are written "Córdoba." | Gonzalo Vidal | |
+2 that everyone feels included in | Syntax Stilted writing style. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| Omission No mention of Cordoba, the match venue, nor the reference to the "Cordobazo" as a metaphor for the huge upset for River. | Gonzalo Vidal | |
| Non-finalist entries The following entries were not selected by peers to advance to finals-round voting. [...He's marked, opening for Herrera.
