    No. The sentence you posted implies a football match was never before attended by any person.

    If you want to say one of many, you should say Some person/someone.

    Or you can qualify the person. E.g. A non-american astronaut will be landing on the moon for the first time.

      Nope, because you know football matches have been attended by people. Ignoring basic facts doesn’t make your understand correct, it’s silly.

        Yes, so we are talking about a sentence in the headline where we don’t have extra context, yet you make an sentence where it is clear the sentence is stupid based on outside context and argue it should be interpreted the other way around because otherwise we know it is stupid. Amazing logic.

        Just because I can deduce what you actually meant does not mean the sentence is correct.
