⚽ How much might the 'Hand of God' ball fetch?
Maradona scored two goals -- both equally memorable -- to beat England 2-1. Argentina eventually advanced to the finals where they beat West Germany 3-2 for their second World Cup victory.
The first goal came early in the second half when Maradona seemingly punched the ball past English goalkeeper Peter Shilton. Well before the days of VAR, the English were essentially left watching, unable to mount a defense to recall the goal. When questioned about the legality of the strike, Maradona said it was “a little with the head of Maradona, and a little with the hand of God.”
Four minutes later, Maradona struck again. The Argentinian took 11 seconds and 11 touches to pass six English defenders -- including Shilton -- and score what was later voted the “Goal of the Century.”
