“Brazil met Argentina in the second round of the 1990 World Cup, pummelled them for 80 minutes without scoring, and then fell to the sucker punch as Diego Maradona produced one of his turn and burst specials, drew the defence and slipped a pass for Claudio Caniggia to round the keeper and score the only goal of the game. Galvao Bueno, commentating on Brazil’s TV Globo, was not impressed at all. His post-mortem on the goal was along the lines of ‘why didn’t someone take Maradona out, come across and kick him?'” (BBC – Tim Vickery)
