In football, the act of committing a handball in an effort to either score on or prevent a goal from the opposing team, in order to win a match.
The "Maradona" portion of the word refers to Maradona's hand of god goal against England in '86.
Maradona's handball successfully fooled the ref and won Argentina their victory. More recently, Uruguay's striker Luis Suarez was caught blocking a goal with his hands. His gambit payed off as Ghana missed the resulting penalty kick and Uruguay won the match.

Friend: "That's BS! I can't believe that handball resulted in a win."
Me: "I know, total Maradona Gambit."

the greatest player ever to set foot on a football ground. best even than pele. he, alone, won a world cup for argentina (mexico 86) and leaded the team to first runner up the following world cup (italy 90). although brits consider him a cheater, they can´t deny that they´re simply jealous about a man like that. not beckham, no rooney, no owen, no charlton, no whomever the fuck will appaer will match his greatness. sorry lads, better luck next life!

beckham: -don´t mind him, he´s a cheater...
lineker: -are you a fag? since when did you care about shit like that? don´t you understand that i was completly shocked by his performance. he´s the greatest player ever.
