The luck of the Albiceleste

FIFA Confederations Cup Semi-Final ARGENTINA 1 - Figeroa 110 MEXICO 1 - Salcido 105 Argentina (Riquelme, Maxi, Aimar, Galletti, Sorin, Cambiasso) won 6-5 on penalties. Osorio missed Mexico´s 6th while Perez, Pardo, Borgetti, Salcido and Pineda scored theirs Saviola (90) and Mexico´s Marquez (90) were dismissed Hanover Stadion, Hanover 1800h, Sunday 26th June 2005. Attendance: 40,718 Argentina refused to die as extra-time between two sides reduced to ten men failed to come up with a winner. A scrambled poke from Figeroa - who had hitherto conspicuously mislaid his scoring touch - equalised Salcido`s dogged run and deflected shot that took Mexico to the brink of a surprise final appearance against Brazil in Frankfurt on Wednesday.
