KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Tony Meola set a Major League Soccer record with his 12th shutout of the season as the Kansas City Wizards beat the Los Angeles Galaxy 2-0 on Saturday night.

Meola made four saves in the Wizards' eighth straight home shutout, a span of 730 minutes without an opponent scoring a goal in Arrowhead Stadium.

The victory gave the first-place Wizards (11-2-4) a nine-point lead over second-place Los Angeles (7-4-7) in the Western Division.

Chris Klein opened the scoring in the 44th minute. Midfielder Chris Henderson bent a cross into the 6-yard box, and while a diving Gary Glasgow couldn't reach it, Klein slid in and knocked the ball inside the right post.

In the 55th minute, Glasgow scored his second goal of the season. Preki slid a pass inside the box to striker Mo Johnston, whose hard kick was blocked by Galaxy goalkeeper Kevin Hartman. But Hartman couldn't control the rebound and Glasgow tapped the loose ball into the goal.

Los Angeles has won just once in its last seven games.
