Did Maradona ever score a goal with his right foot?

Sports Asked on March 31, 2021

I was hearing one of Pele’s declaration stating Maradona couldn’t score goals with his right foot. I thought he was talking in general, but then I started to think about goals made by him with his right foot and I couldn’t remember any. I made a little research about this and I couldn’t find any goal scored by him with his right foot, even though I clearly didn’t watch all 300+ goals he made in his career (I’m not sure if all of them were recorded on TV by the way).

I also remembered he used to kick the ball to the center of the field with his left foot even when he was in the right side of the field, giving the pass with a "Rabona" instead of with his right foot, because he was too much of a left-footed player. So, did he ever score a goal with his right foot, or did he never score one this way?

One Answer

Maradona scored with his right foot in 1993 for Newell's Old Boys in a friendly game against Emelec (at 7:18 in the video below).

I couldn't find official statistics, but some questionable sources include this breakdown:

320 with his left foot,
26 with his head,
6 with his right foot and
1 with his left hand
