Jorge Burruchaga (Argentina), 1986

Just six minutes remained in a thrilling 1986 final as Diego Maradona got the ball and was surrounded by West German players.

Maradona controlled expertly and picked out a pass to Jorge Burruchaga, who ran on and calmly finished beyond Harald Schumacher, who was to be on the end of his second consecutive World Cup final defeat.

Burruchaga's goal, and crucially Maradona's pass, had made it 3-2 to the Argentineans in Mexico City, and they were to hold on to that crucial advantage.
