Match overview
Argentina defeated Brazil 1-0 in a tense South American derby in Turin to reach the quarter-finals of the 1990 FIFA World Cup. Diego Maradona’s brilliant run set up Claudio Caniggia for the decisive goal in the 82nd minute. Brazil dominated possession but failed to convert their chances, with Ricardo Gomes receiving a red card late in the match.
Trivia
This match featured Maradona’s legendary assist for Caniggia’s winner, showcasing the Argentine captain’s genius despite being closely marked throughout. Brazil hit the woodwork three times but could not score, while Argentina’s victory avenged their defeat to Brazil in the 1982 World Cup second round.
