West Germany emerged as one of the lowest-scoring World Cup finalists, but somewhat ruthless. They won the replay of the previous final (which Argentina won) and nobody was more pleased than their captain, Luthor Mathews.

As a player, he eventually lifted the trophy in 1990 after two successive defeats in 1982 and 1986.

A semi-fit Maradona could not be the main attacking for His Team Due To his knee injury and lack of form. The team with more goals and more fighter Players emerged victorious in the ugliest final until the final of Germany 2014.

The competition will be remembered for Roger Milla's delightful dance to Cameron and for Salvatore Chelsea.

With the first time coming to the World Cup, the two 'Golden' Awards were nominated.
