José Luis Brown scored for Argentina in the 23rd minute with a header after a free-kick from the right and it stayed at 1-0 until half-time. 10 minutes into the second half, Jorge Valdano doubled Argentina's lead with a low side foot finish after cutting in from the left past the advancing goalkeeper. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge pulled a goal back in the 74th minute from close range for West Germany. West Germany then equalized in the 83rd minute, with Rudi Völler scoring with a header from close range to seemingly salvage the game. Although Diego Maradona was heavily marked by Lothar Matthäus the entire game, his superb pass to Jorge Burruchaga in the 86th minute allowed Argentina to regain the lead at 3-2 when he slid the ball past the advancing goalkeeper from the right and into the corner of the net.
