KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Teal Bunbury took advantage of a defensive miscue and scored in the 61st minute to lift the Kansas City Wizards to a 1-0 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday night.
The win gave Kansas City (5-8-4) its first three-match unbeaten streak of the year. Toronto (6-6-5) fell to 1-6-1 in road games.
The Wizards, who were coming off a 2-1 exhibition victory over Manchester United last Sunday, were slow to get their offense untracked against Toronto with only one shot on goal in the first half.
But in the 61st minute, Bunbury tracked down a botched back pass by Adrian Cann and struck a line-drive header from the edge of the penalty area. Keeper Stefan Frei got a hand on the ball the ball, but the high deflection glanced off the bottom of the crossbar and into the goal.
