Diego Maradona: “the Hand of God” and the “goal of the century”
In 1986 Argentina beat England 2-1 in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Mexico, goals that went down to posterity as “the Hand of God” and “the goal of the century”.
The first goal that Maradona scored against the English was at the Azteca stadium in Mexico, where there were 114,000 spectators. Maradona went to look for a return to the center of the big area and the ball came raining down. There he jumped next to English goalkeeper Peter Shilton and stretched out his left arm to punch the ball, a goal that the Tunisian referee Ali Bennaceur validated.
In the 10th minute of the second half, Diego Maradona received the ball ceded by Héctor Enrique, turned and, from the Argentine field, began to dodge the English in a hallucinating career that led him to the coronation of the most extraordinary goal ever scored in a Cup in the World, and probably the best all-court of all time.
The clash would end 2-1 and the national team would advance to the semifinals, where they eliminated Belgium (2-0) until finishing champion defeating Germany 3-2 in the final.
