The documentary film The Match revisits the iconic encounter between Argentina and England played at the Azteca Stadium during the 1986 FIFA World Cup, intertwining rare archive footage – including Maradona's “Hand of God” – into a powerful reconstruction of the event. Off the pitch, the film traces more than two centuries of conflict between the two nations, from their first encounters to the Falklands War, portraying the match as both a sporting watershed and an echo of a deeper historical rivalry where the beauty of football meets the absurdity of war. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
