@The Rambling Man: I think I've addressed everything here. I've also updated the pitch diagram in the Details section so that it shows the correct formations, matching the BBC source. — Amakuru (talk) 22:56, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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.
Ref 56: what is Spielverlagerung? is it RS? Is there a link?
I've replaced that passage with a summary of the game from the BBC instead. — Amakuru (talk) 10:02, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 59: consistent publisher linking.
Ref 90: Evening Standard doesn't need to be piped to a redirect.
Ref 103: check consistent format with other links to that YouTube video.
Ref 107: add one of those redundant "The" to this work.
Ref 114: SHOUTING.
Ref 114: net.hr link?
Ref 118: appears to have curly apos.
Ref 129: is World Soccer Talk RS?
Ref 130: just while we're at it, make that (India) rather than (Calcutta).
Ref 137: SHOUTING.

That's it for me. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 09:02, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: - all addressed I think, apart from the NYT, where I can't see an issue. Let me know if I need to do anything about that one. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 10:02, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weird, I just checked again and it says I hit my limit of free articles and can't see any part of any NYT article without paying. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 11:59, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: Oh well, who knows then. I've added |url-access=subscription which should cover it both ways. — Amakuru (talk) 12:05, 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]
