The Match of the Century

June 22, 1986, Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. England's captain Peter Shilton and his Argentine counterpart Diego Armando Maradona shake hands before the World Cup quarter-final. A match begins that will enter sports history - but far more than a place in the semi-finals was at stake on the pitch. The goal of the century and the infamous "Hand of God" are well known, yet the true story of this encounter is even more dramatic.

The Falkland War, national pride, political tension, and the personal fates of the players formed the backdrop to a clash that still sparks passionate debate. Directors Juan Cabral and Santiago Franco return to the legendary match forty years later through the eyes of those who stood directly on the grass. Former rivals become friends, and an iconic football duel transforms into a fascinating story of rivalry, memory, and reconciliation. The film combines archival footage with personal testimonies.
