How to use Selenium to click on a link

I want to click a link using Selenium with Python. The text is "104" in the following html code:

<a class="_2x4v" href="/ufi/reaction/profile/browser/?ft_ent_identifier=2411812215520941&amp;av=200007162833925" rel="ignore" role="button">1045
  <span aria-hidden="true" class="_1g5v">
    <span data-hover="tooltip" data-tooltip-uri="/ufi/reaction/tooltip/?ft_ent_identifier=2411812215520941&amp;av=200007162833925">104</span>
  </span>
  <span class="_4arz">
    <span data-hover="tooltip" data-tooltip-uri="/ufi/reaction/tooltip/?ft_ent_identifier=2411812215520941&amp;av=200007162833925">104</span>
  </span>
</a>

I tried 

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[text()="104"]').click()

But I received an error:

no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//a[text()="104"]"}

What should I do?

Link has no child text node "104" - it's child text node of span. You can try below options to match required link:

//a[span="104"]

or

//a[.//text()="104"]

or

//a[.//span[text()="104"]]

...
