===Summary===
[[File:Maradona and Rummenigge.jpg|thumb|250px|Argentina captain [[Diego Maradona]] and West Germany captain [[Karl-Heinz Rummenigge]].]]
[[José Luis Brown]] opened the scoring for Argentina in the 23rd minute with a header after an error of the German Keeper [[Harald Schumacher]] on a free-kick from the right and it stayed at 1–0 until half-time. 11 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, his first goal in the tournament. West Germany then equalised in the 81st minute, with [[Rudi Völler]] scoring with a header from close range. Although [[Diego Maradona]] was heavily marked by [[Lothar Matthäus]] throughout the game, his pass to [[Jorge Burruchaga]] in the 84th 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.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160827215742/http://www.diariopublicable.com/futbol/5369-argentina-alemania-1986.html En la cima del mundo] by Pablo Ibaldi on Diario Publicable, 29 Jun 2016</ref><ref>[https://www.infobae.com/2014/04/30/1561027-mexico-1986-dios-y-diez-mas-levantaron-la-segunda-y-ultima-copa/ México 1986: Dios y diez más levantaron la segunda y última Copa] by Federico Cristofanelli, Infobae, 30 Apr 2014 {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160322062708/https://www.infobae.com/2014/04/30/1561027-mexico-1986-dios-y-diez-mas-levantaron-la-segunda-y-ultima-copa/ |date=22 March 2016 }}</ref> 

Six yellow cards were issued in this match, which was a record number until the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]] [[2010 FIFA World Cup final|Final]]. Two of them were issued because of timewasting from Argentine players. As the clock expired, Argentina celebrated their second World Cup victory in three tournaments after having won the [[1978 FIFA World Cup|1978 World Cup]] on home soil.

==Aftermath==
[[File:Argentina celebrando copa.jpg|thumb|[[Diego Maradona]] (with the World Cup) and teammates celebrating the title]]
The second World Cup won by Argentina is regarded by many as the most important victory for an Argentine side.<ref>[http://www.laizquierdadiario.com/Mundial-%C2%B486-a-30-anos-de-la-mayor-hazana-del-futbol-argentino Mundial '86: a 30 años de la mayor hazaña del fútbol argentino] by Augusto Dorado, 29 Jun 2016 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160906033157/http://www.laizquierdadiario.com/Mundial-%C2%B486-a-30-anos-de-la-mayor-hazana-del-futbol-argentino|date=6 September 2016}}</ref> Four years later, both teams met in the [[1990 FIFA World Cup final|final]] of the [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990 World Cup]], with West Germany winning. This marked the first time two World Cup finalists met twice, a record later shared with [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] and [[Italy national football team|Italy]], the [[1970 FIFA World Cup|1970]] and [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994]] World Cup finalists. Argentina and Germany met in the [[2014 FIFA World Cup final|2014 final]] for a record third time as finalists.

With the 1986 defeat, German manager Franz Beckenbauer gained the distinction of having lost a World Cup final as a player (in 1966) and a manager. In 1990 he managed Germany to victory, becoming a winner of the World Cup as player (in 1974) and as manager.

{{cquote|The games are won by the players on the field, but behind it there must be a machinery that works. There I include players, coaching staff and leaders. If you all pull in the same direction, you can think of titles.

Germany won their fourth title in 2014.
