Hi everyone,
I'm translating an article about the similarities and differences between writing and football. I'm wondering if this word can be translated as "foul" (as in the technical football term) or if it simply means "slip-up/mistake".
ربما تمرُّ على حَكَمٍ هفوةٌ لم يرها أو أساء تقديرها في لحظة وهذا طبيعي.
Many thanks!

slip-up
It simply means a slip-up. Nothing to do with football terms.

Mistake
ما دور الحكم في كرة القدم؟ مراقبة اللاعبين من أجل توقيف المبارة لمدة قصيرة بسبب خطأ ما. لهذا فإن كلمة هفوة معناها خطأ. يمكن صياغة الجملة كالتالي
ربما يمرُّ على الحكم خطأ لم يراه أو أساء تقديره في لحظة ما وهذا طبيعي."
He later admitted that it was not his greatest game.
“It was not my best day, really,” Ovrebo told Marca. “But those mistakes can be committed by a referee… and sometimes a player or a coach. Some days you’re not at the level you should be.
