Video: Diego Maradona vs. Brazil at the 1990 World Cup

Diego Maradona’s memorable performance with Argentina against Brazil at the 1990 World Cup has been made into an individual highlights video.

Maradona provided a legendary assist to Claudio Caniggia as he scored for Argentina in their 1-0 win vs. Brazil in the Round of 16 at the 1990 World Cup. But Maradona’s imposing dominance in the match started long before that goal.

For those that have watched the match, this makes for a great video package. And for those that have yet to watch the match or watch Maradona’s highlights, this is a must.
