The first half came to the end with goalless draw, and the second half was remembered by two goals of Diego Maradona. The first goal was scored with clear violation of the rules by hand which the referee did not notice.

That was the end of the magnificent period in the history of the Argentina national football team, when the team for 10 years was considered as the world strongest and could reach the World Cup final twice in a row. Lionel Messi Similar success is expected from the today Argentina national football team. The most successful for Argentina tournament in the 21st century was the World Cup 2014 in Brazil.
