During the 1986 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal match between Argentina and England, Diego Maradona scored a goal that would become known as the "Hand of God." The goal was controversial because Maradona appeared to use his hand to score it, although the referee did not see the infringement and allowed the goal to stand. Maradona later claimed that the goal was scored "a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God."
