USA 240 – Jamaica 230 (under investigation) | |
|
巴塔哥尼亞再一次出現爭議：美國隊與牙買加隊交鋒的結果正在調查中，因為牙買加看守手科宛達·貝利在美國隊追蹤手昆廷·科沃斯基為球隊投進第九個球之前忽然暈厥，從掃帚上面摔了下來。 |
Yet more controversy in Patagonia: the outcome of the USA versus Jamaica clash is under investigation due to the sudden collapse of Kquewanda Bailey, the Jamaican Keeper, who toppled from her broom shortly before US Chaser Quentin Kowalski scored their ninth goal. |
|
就在裁判及時用「減震止速」成功接住垂直墜落的貝利的幾秒鐘後，美國隊的搜捕手達利斯·斯邁克漢默就搶在牙買加對手沙尼斯·希金斯之前抓住了飛賊，讓美國隊以微弱的優勢贏得比賽。 |
Seconds after the referee successfully halted Bailey's groundwards plummet with a well timed 'arresto momentum!' US Seeker Darius Smackhammer caught the Snitch ahead of Jamaican counterpart Shanice Higgins, resulting in a narrow victory for the United States. |

由於科宛達突然昏迷的時機過於湊巧，有關部門正在調查人為干擾的可能性。體育場中所有全效望遠鏡都被作為記錄的證據進行仔細檢查。ICWQC已經明確表示，他們在明天之前沒有資格對結果的有效性進行裁決。 |
The timing of Kquewanda's sudden unconsciousness was so convenient that authorities are examining the possibility of crowd interference. Omnioculars from all over the stadium are being scrutinised for recorded evidence. The ICWQC has intimated that they will not be in a position to rule on the validity of the result until tomorrow. |

1849年對魁地奇規則的修正案規定，如果人群中有人對球員使用任何惡咒或符咒，那麼他們的球隊就會自動喪失比賽資格，不論球隊是否下令或認可使用這種魔法。 |
An amendment to the rules of Quidditch in 1849 stipulates that if a member of the crowd casts any jinx or spell on a player, their team will automatically forfeit the match, whether or not the team ordered or approved of the magic performed. |
