  • Ref 10, ref 42, ref 58 etc: NYT is sub only for me.
    That's odd, the links go straight through to the article for me, even in incognito mode.  — Amakuru (talk) 10:02, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 11, ref 29, no "The" in the work title.
  • Ref 13, consistent RSSSF format. Check all.
  • Ref 47: FIFA format.

    I've replaced that passage with a summary of the game from the BBC instead.  — Amakuru (talk) 10:02, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Err, this edit added a glaring factual error in the lead section about the manager of one of the two teams, so y'all might want to actually proofread this if it's supposed to be a good article. :D --Joy [shallot] (talk) 19:28, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Joy great! Thanks for fixing it, this is, after all, Wikipedia!! The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 19:36, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
