The Match

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 more than 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.

Forty years later, Juan Cabral and Santiago Franco’s documentary looks back on this historic match through a combination of archival footage and interviews with former players.

Filmography (Juan Cabral): Risa and the Wind Phone (2025), Two/One (2019).
