Thanks for pointing that out, I'll need to check with the Spanish source, as it is clear from the later discussion, that they were going for "dos cero", e.g.

15:26:02Z......
[TA390] TONCONTIN TORRE. TACA TRES NUEVE CERO. SOBREVOLANDO EL CAMPO.
PARA CINCO MIL QUINIENTOS.
[TGU TOWER] TACA TRES NUEVE CERO. CONTINUE APROXIMACION PISTA DOS CERO.
VIENTO DOS CERO CERO GRADOS. SEIS NUDOS. NOTIFIQUE EN FINAL.
[TA390] NOTIFICAREMOS EN FINAL PARA LA DOS CERO. TACA TRES NUEVE CERO.
GRACIAS.

and only switched to "cero dos" for their second approach after the missed approach procedure.

Servus, Simon
