Argentina football legend Diego Maradona kissed and hugged referee Ali Bennaceur who allowed his handball goal in the 1986 World Cup and presented him with a signed Argentine jersey when the two met in Tunisia this week. Argentina defeated England 2-1 in the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup in Mexico to go on and eventually win the championship. Maradona scored twice in the match with the first strike being a very controversial one. The ball came off a defender when Maradona, now 54, went up and hit it in with his hand, getting past England goalkeeper Peter Shilton.Â
