Buffon performedseveralcrucialsaves to keep his men inthe hunt and, after Giuliano Giannichedda's dismissal, Pavel Nedved scored a stoppage-timeequaliser at the Stadio Picco.
According to a 2005 Senate subcommittee report, Picco provided his services on a number of occasions from 1997 to 2003--overlapping with his Dialogue appointment as a U.N. special representative and undersecretary-general--as a consultant on Oil-for-Food to Bayoil, a company owned by Houston oil man David Chalmers.
But in the matter of U.N. oversight of its own ventures, it sets a disturbing precedent that to this day, the U.N. has not raised any serious objection to Picco having served as a U.N. undersecretary-general running the U.N.
Picco quietly left a few weeks later, however--about the time that a scandal flared up in the media over a corrupt U.N. procurement officer, Alexander Yakovlev.
