Summary[]
This was an exciting and memorable World Cup final. José Luis Brown opened the scoring for Argentina in the 23rd minute and it stayed at 1–0 until half-time. 10 minutes into the second half, Jorge Valdano doubled Argentina's lead. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge pulled a goal back in the 74th minute for West Germany, his first goal in the tournament. West Germany then equalised in the 80th minute, with Rudi Völler scoring to seemingly salvage the game. Although Diego Maradona was heavily marked the entire game, his superb pass to Jorge Burruchaga in the 84th minute allowed Argentina to regain the lead at 3–2.
Six yellow cards were issued in this match, which was a record number until the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final, 3 of them were issued because of time wasting of Argentine players. As the clock expired, Argentina celebrated their second World Cup victory in three tournaments (after winning the 1978 World Cup).
