Journalist Sofi Martínez makes famous Maradona mistake

Buenos Aires, Dec 3 (NA) – Sports journalist Sofi Martínez starred in a bizarre moment during the last chance gala of 'MasterChef Celebrity', which aired on Tuesday. During the mini-challenge, which was a quiz on Argentine culture, the participants and the jury quickly laughed at having one of the easiest questions. However, the laughter turned to screams when they heard her unusual answer. "The goal of the century," she confidently blurted out. "No!" shouted the host and other participants, but the loudest was heard from Andy Chango: "Find another job!" The knowledgeable Argentine football fan made an unforgivable mistake when asked about Diego Armando Maradona's most famous goal. "I thought it was... it was the hand of God and it was the other one," she tried to justify her unforgivable error, but Wanda again repeated the clear instruction: "I said: 'The goal that Maradona made with his hand.'" Which participant was saved from the elimination gala? Actor Miguel Ángel Rodríguez won the night's mini-challenge, earning the right to choose both his partner for the main challenge and the duos for his colleagues. In this way, the pairs were Sofi Martínez with Andy Chango, La Joaqui with Emilia Attias, Alex Pelao with Julia Calvo and him with Sofi "La Reini" Gonet. The recipe the duos had to recreate was a 25-layer cake, filled with dulce de leche and covered with royal icing. When it was Martínez's turn, Wanda Naralejo asked: "What is it popularly called the goal that Maradona made with his hand against England in the '86 World Cup? The hand of God!". Finally, the cooking pair that managed to stand out from the rest was that of Sofi Martínez and Andy Chango.
