X team will be penalized by Y's getting a corner kick
When a team gets a corner kick, the opposing team has done a booboo, in my opinion...i would have to see the whole text but...
cobrar means to "make someone pay for something"'...the opposing team
my translation may be off but someone is being penalized with the thing

Ramiro Arango
: That's where it comes from, but here it refers to the actual shooting of the ball

: One team gets a corner kick when the ball goes out of bounds over the endline by the defensive team. It is not a penalty kick that one team gets because of the other team committing a foul. Mike :)

...there was an ad campaign for Mini cars in the 70s, which went something like this:
- Why is a Mini like Kevin Keegan (famous footballer)?
- Because it's good at taking corners.
Yes, the verb is to take a corner.

Note to Jane: You have reminded me of an argument we had some time ago about the pt translation of \'free kick.\' Some agreed with me that it should be \'cobranca de falta\' while others argued that cobrar uma falta is what the referee does, i.e. to AWARD a free kick. In my experience of watching football in Brazil, I think cobrar could be either, depending on the context. So, coming back to Amy\'s question, it could be \'A corner will be taken\' or \'A corner will be awarded\'.
Note: the passive is unusual in English here. It\'s more likely to be: X is going to take the corner. Or The referee is going to award/give a corner.

Luciano Monteiro
: To award in this sense is best translated into Brazilian Portuguese as "marcar", eg "o juiz marcou um pênalti" or even "o juiz apitou um pênalti". Never heard anybody using the word "cobrar" meaning to award, but nevertheless it might be okay in Portugal.
