Hola:
A mi me gustaría una traducción que incluya algo de robar la victoria, o en el último momento
2 to defeat (a person), esp. when his success seems certain (often in the phrase pip at the post)
Collins
pip Verb. To defeat by a small margin. Often heard in the expression 'pip at the post'. E.g."We pipped them to the finish and won by just 2 seconds." {Informal)
