In other words, it sounded normal, even though it can’t have felt normal?
Ok I can understand the mistake(s) but at some point they muss have felt it through their ass pants. This aircraft was clearly not getting the expected thrust - any pilot will check the thrust setting as a reflex.

At 07:35:27 (inferred value, not quoted explicitly) - After about 5 seconds and a 350m flight into the runway, the captain commanded “GO AROUND”,
At 07:35:36 AM, ALTradC1/// 66.328ft, speed CAS 124.00kts, the co-pilot retracted the flaps on the captain’s command from 40° directly to 11° (retracting time 17 seconds), and 3 seconds after the beginning of this process started the retraction of the landing gear ALTradC1/// 88.594ft, CAS 118.75kts, (retracting time 6 seconds),
At 07:35:47 AM, ALTradC1/// 71.797, CAS 119.5kts, the throttle controls were pushed aggressively forward from EPR 1.3 to EPR 1.9/20. Later on, he additionally move them forward to the maximum.
I don't know what would be typical in an MD82 but I'd expect would feel the TOGA thrust with 3-5 s of commanding it. There is no missing it - I find it unbelievable that the remained spectators for about 20s...
