"Imefunga magoli matatu"

Translation: It has scored three goals

[Julianfshpearson]

The correct answer does not make sense to me.

[DeLogosarda]

I think it means: [The team] has scored three goals.
"team" is n-class in Swahili (timu), so it would use "imefunga" for its conjugation.

Who is the object in this sentence? 'It' does not make sense.

[PetterNord]

As a computer gamer, I immediately thought of a computer opponent. In that case, I think it works ^^ Also thought of Japanese robot football, which is of course not a sport to be underestimated.

[ngwarai]

"It" is referring to a team.

[BrainyPirate]

I tried a passive construction: three goals have been scored, and was marked incorrect

[AGreatUserName]

This is not answering your question at all as that’s been answered elsewhere, but “it” in this case is the subject, not the object.

[Renata725212]

That's really strange sentence. I am NOT funn of mpira wa miguu but....It has been scored three goals ? ( Yamefungwa magoli matatu ). They have scored three goals ? ( Wamefunga magoli matatu )

[Klgregonis]

They have scored three goals (referring to team, which is obligate singular in AMERICAN English), would be a perfectly normal sentence. I'll try putting it in my next go-round and reporting it when it is marked wrong. I like the answer above from the computer gamer, it makes this make more sense.

[cubieloobie]

It?! Is an inanimate object playing football?

[AGreatUserName]

In Swahili, yes, (Timu) imefunga ..., but the translation into English is bad.

Error in the answer key tells us about a missing space between letters

[YemiSensei]

I think three goals have been scored would be plausible.

Please look into this answer not sensible
