The Match by Juan Cabral and Santiago Franco | International Feature Film | DOCanarias Festival
About the plan
Enjoy the international feature film "The Match" at Sala Teatro Timanfaya, located at C. las Damas, 1 in Puerto de la Cruz, as part of the programme for the prestigious DOCanarias Festival. This special screening, directed by Juan Cabral and Santiago Franco, delves into one of football's most iconic moments: the legendary clash between Argentina and England at the 1986 FIFA World Cup, held at Mexico's Estadio Azteca.
The documentary, an Argentinian and Spanish co-production from 2026, runs for 91 minutes and uses valuable archival footage, including Maradona's famous 'Hand of God' goal, to masterfully reconstruct this sporting event. Beyond the pitch, "The Match" explores two centuries of conflict between the two nations, from their initial encounters to the Falklands War, reinterpreting the match as both a sporting milestone and an echo of a deep historical rivalry, where the beauty of football collides with the absurd reality of war.
The screening is at 20:30 and admission is charged. An unmissable cultural event for cinema and history lovers, held in an emblematic venue in northern Tenerife.
Don't miss this cinematic event in Puerto de la Cruz on 08/09, a standout cultural offering in northern Tenerife.
