Supplemental context
Argentina's 2–1 win over England is remembered through two very different goals by Diego Maradona. The Argentine Football Association recounts the hand-assisted opening goal and the subsequent dribbling run that became known as the Goal of the Century. Keeping the actions distinct matters: admiration for skill and controversy over a decision are not the same kind of judgment. Future audiences can compare match evidence with later national and sporting memory to see how a result becomes a story. The association's celebratory account is a participant institution's perspective, useful as a source but not a reason to treat every evaluation as neutral fact.
Creator/community: Argentina and England teams; Diego Maradona and match officials; later football audiences Place/era: Estadio Azteca, Mexico City; World Cup quarter-final, June 22, 1986
