Diego maradona, the hand of God.
Background: 1986 World Cup in Mexico14 final.
Against both sides: Argentina VS England
The game was unremarkable, but it was not wonderful. In the 5th1minute, the Argentine team attacked, and Diego Diego Maradona and his teammates played a one-on-one match in front of the English team's restricted area. Diego maradona passed the ball to his teammates and immediately went straight into the penalty area. The teammate got the message and passed a header. At this time, there are no defenders in the restricted area, but unfortunately the passing power is slightly stronger. Realizing that the ball was dangerous, England goalkeeper Hilton immediately attacked and jumped up to pick it up. Seeing that the goal was about to be snatched away by the goalkeeper, Diego Diego Maradona hands in the air jumped up. Everyone thinks it is impossible for diego maradona to head the ball. But the ball miraculously flew over Hilton's head and fell into the goal accurately.
The referee may not know how to get the goal. Goalkeeper Hilton protested angrily, saying it was handball. Maybe the referee is an admirer of diego maradona. He decides to score a goal because it really looks like a good goal. Argentine players don't believe this goal really counts. It was not until Diego Diego Maradona came running to cheer and celebrate that they came to their senses.
Judging from the slow-motion playback after the game, the ball was really entered by hand, but the action was very hidden. Diego maradona also said after the game that the ball was scored by hand, but it was not his hand, but the hand of God. The "hand of God" was named after it.
This ball is not wonderful, but its controversy is definitely the first.
