Zapata started his career in 1998 with Argentinos Juniors. In 1999, he moved to River Plate, where he won four league titles during his first spell with the club. During the 2003–04 season, he was loaned to Real Valladolid in the Spanish La Liga, but returned to River after Valladolid was relegated at the end of the season.
In 2007, Zapata joined Vélez Sársfield in a free transfer, after River denied the possibility of extending his contract. He was a regular starter in the team's 2009 Clausura championship, playing 18 of the 19 games (and scoring one goal).[1] He also played 13 games as a starter (1 goal) in Vélez' 2011 Clausura winning campaign,[2] his second Argentine league title with the club and sixth in his career.
International careeredit
Under José Pekerman's coaching, Zapata played a friendly match with the Argentina national team in 2005. The game was a 1–1 draw with Mexico, in which Argentina had a squad formed exclusively by local league players.
