Meola: 615 scoreless minutes

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Tony Meola extended his Major League Soccer-record shutout streak to 615 minutes as the Kansas City Wizards beat the San Jose Earthquakes 2-0 on Saturday night.

The sometimes U.S. national team goalkeeper made four saves in recording his sixth straight shutout and league-leading ninth of the season. He has allowed just four goals this season.

Peter Vermes and Miklos Molnar scored for the Wizards, who improved to 9-0-2 to pass their victory total of last season (8-24-0). San Jose dropped to 2-6-3.

Vermes finished a long cross from Chris Henderson in the 36th minute for his first goal of the season. Molnar's team-leading seventh goal, also on a feed from Henderson, made it 2-0 in the 90th minute.

San Jose's Richard Mulrooney was ejected in the 79th minute when he drew a red card for a rough foul.

A crowd of 17,272 attended the game, the Wizards' largest home crowd of the year.
