It was the 55th minute. Four English defenders. One Maradona. What followed became football history.
In just 11 seconds, Diego sprinted from his own half toward the English goal, ball at his feet, like a dancing magician. Sixty meters, five opponents, two commentators in ecstasy. The world watched. The world held its breath. The world roared.
He took the ball past midfield. A turn, a burst of speed. Sansom, Fenwick, Butcher – all left behind. Shilton rushed out. A touch. And then: magic. 2–0.
