Soccer: Ahn gets to stay at Perugia

Italian first division club Perugia - which had threatened to fire the South Korean forward whose goal sent Italy packing from the cup - yesterday said that Ahn Jung-hwan would stay.

Ahn's golden goal lifted South Korea to a shock 2-1 victory over Italy last week.

Perugia owner Luciano Gaucci responded by telling Ahn he was not welcome back, but the club has now exercised an option to buy him.
