argentina entered the round of 16 against south american rivals uruguay in puebla. the hot-tempered game ended in a 1–0 win for argentina. next, argentina moved on to the quarter-finals, playing england at the estadio azteca in mexico city. the game started very evenly, with both teams getting chances to score but none were able to finish. the first half ended with argentina having the majority of possession but unable to get past a tough defense. six minutes following the second half, maradona scored a controversial goal in which he used his hand; once the match finished, maradona called it ""la mano de dios"" ("the hand of god"), explicitly admitting the infringement. the goal began with a defensive error from steve hodge, who passed the ball incorrectly back to his goalkeeper, peter shilton. at that time, maradona was still continuing his run and reached the ball first and netted it in with his left fist. after the goal, maradona encouraged his teammates to embrace the goal so the referee would allow it. four minutes after the "hand of god" goal, maradona scored a goal which people called "the goal of the century" because of the individual effort of maradona, who starting his run from the half-way line, passed four english midfielders (he beat midfielder terry butcher twice) and dribbled around shilton, finally scoring the goal which allowed argentina to win the match, 2–1. that victory was very celebrated due to not only the rivalry between both teams but argentina had lost the falklands war at the hands of the british army four years prior.
