Long synopsis : THE MATCH revisits the iconic 1986 World Cup clash between Argentina and England at the Azteca Stadium, weaving rare archival footage, including Maradona’s “Hand of God”, into a powerful reconstruction of the event. Beyond the pitch, the film traces over two centuries of conflict between the two nations, from early encounters to The Falklands/Malvinas War, reframing the game as both a sporting milestone and the echo of a deeper historical rivalry, where the beauty of football meets the absurdity of war.
