Metros' Meola earns seventh shutout

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Tony Meola posted his league-leading seventh shutout Saturday night as the Kansas City Wizards remained unbeaten with a 2-0 victory over the New York/New Jersey MetroStars.

Meola has gone 435 minutes without allowing a goal, breaking his own league record of 414 minutes. He is also MLS's career leader with 27 shutouts.

Matt McKeon had a goal and an assist for the Wizards (7-0-2), who are one victory away from matching their total for last season.

McKeon put Kansas City up 1-0 in the 49th minute with an assist from Mo Johnston, and Chris Henderson sealed the result with a goal in the 75th minute.

The MetroStars (3-6) played the last 21 minutes of the game with 10 players after defender Ramiro Corrales was ejected, receiving a second yellow card for arguing a foul call.

Danish forward Miklos Molnar, Kansas City's leading scorer with five goals, returned from a two-game absence with a sprained ankle and played all 90 minutes.

The game drew only 9,705 fans.
