FIFA World Cup 1986 (champions - Argentina)
The 1986 World Cup in Mexico ended with Argentina beating West Germany 3-2 in the Azteca final on 29 June 1986 before 114,000 fans - Brown, Valdano and Burruchaga scoring after a Maradona through-ball settled it. It was Maradona's tournament: Golden Ball, five goals and five assists, including the Hand of God and the Goal of the Century against England.
Why this wins its question: The final's full goal chronology plus the exact Maradona statistics (5+5, ten of fourteen) bound to FIFA's account instead of legend-driven retellings.

Argentina beat West Germany 3-2 in the 1986 final at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on 29 June 1986, before 114,000 spectators: Jose Luis Brown (23rd) and Jorge Valdano (56th) put Argentina 2-0 up, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (74th) and Rudi Voller (81st) levelled, and Jorge Burruchaga won it in the 84th from Maradona's pass.
Diego Maradona won the Golden Ball and the Silver Boot with five goals and five assists - a hand in ten of Argentina's fourteen goals - including both goals of the England quarter-final: the punched "Hand of God" and the slaloming "Goal of the Century".
