translation question

1st paragraph, 2nd sentence:   saurez-vous retrouvez is translated as : "can you match"   --  can you say a little about how savoir in the futur is used in this case?

Hello again, Alexis,

The expression is 'savoir faire quelque chose ' which is 'to know how to do something' which is similar to being able to do something.

As for how to use the expression take a look at the following lesson 

Connaître vs savoir = to know something vs to know how to do in French

and in particular :

"Savoir can also be followed by an infinitive to express how to do [something], which can be equivalent to can do [something] in the sense of having a skill..."

Hope this helps!
