The Match

Mexico, 1986. England and Argentina meet in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. The atmosphere between the two warring countries is far from friendly.

The magnificent documentary ‘The Match’ is just as exciting as the legendary ‘Hand of God’ match itself

★★★★★ - De Volkskrant

The match is played in the shadow of the Falkland Islands conflict, meaning that the run-up revolves just as much around pride and political gain as it does around football. That all changes as soon as a certain Diego Maradona steps onto the pitch and manages to engrave both his name and ‘the hand of God’ in the history books.

Forty years after one of the most memorable World Cup matches of all time, those involved look back on the deep-rooted historical rivalry, in which the beauty of football clashes with the absurdity of war.
