kasparov troubles

Following the match Kasparov explained that he briefly mistook the pawn of his opponent as his own, but that fortunately this error did not lead to defeat.

1. the pawn of his opponent as his own

2. the pawn of his opponent to his own

3. his opponent's pawn for that of his own

4. his opponent's pawn for his own

5. his opponent's pawn as his own

[spoiler]OA - 4
I am confused between 4 and 5...... mistook ...... for is the correct idiom? Is that the reason 4 is correct?[/spoiler]
