HANOVER: Javier Zanetti celebrated his 100th cap by inspiring Argentina to reach the Confederations Cup final with a 6-5 win over Mexico on penalties on Sunday – a victory he said was written in the stars.
“When the penalties were about to start I did look up and think that this was a match we couldn't lose, on the night of my 100th cap,” said Zanetti, who became only the second Argentine to reach the milestone after Diego Simeone, who played 106 times for his country.
