Kahn named top goalkeeper of World Cup

Germany's Oliver Kahn has been given the 2002 Yashin Award for the best goalkeeper of the World Cup.

Before the final, the 33-year-old had conceded only one goal in six matches, to Ireland's Robbie Keane in stoppage time of their first-round encounter.

In 1998, the trophy went to France goalkeeper Fabien Barthez.

The award is named in honour of the late Soviet goalkeeper Lev Yashin, who starred in the 1958-1966 World Cups.
