Match of the Century

June 22, 1986, Aztec Stadium in Mexico City. England's captain Peter Shilton and his Argentine counterpart Diego Armando Maradona shake hands before the World Cup quarter-final. The match begins - one that will enter sports history, yet far more than a place in the semi-finals hangs in the balance.

Almost everyone knows the Goal of the Century and the infamous "Hand of God", but the true story of this match is even more dramatic. The Falklands War, national pride, political tension, and the personal fates of the players created a backdrop that still sparks passionate debate today.

Directors Juan Cabral and Santiago Franco return to this legendary encounter forty years later through the eyes of those who were on the pitch. Former rivals become friends, and an iconic football match transforms into a fascinating story of rivalry, memory, and reconciliation. Archive footage interweaves with personal recollections from players on both sides.
