[WORLD CUP 2010 QUALIFYING] Forward Martin Palermo rewarded Argentina coach Diego Maradona for bringing him back into the national team after a 10-year absence by scoring the stoppage-time gamewinnner in a 2-1 victory over Peru that puts the Argentines back on track. “At the interval I told him to go out and win the game, though we never imagined it would happen like this. It was yet another miracle by Saint Palermo,” said Maradona, who celebrated Palermo’s goal with a face-first slide on the wet grass of Buenos Aires’s Estadio Monumental.
Palermo scored three minutes into stoppage time after Peru’s Hernan Rengifo equalized in the 90th minute.
