Bunbury's header lifts Wizards past Toronto FC

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 and three for the game.

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 curled down and glanced off the

bottom of the crossbar and into the goal.

Toronto's offense didn't create many opportunities either, as

Wizards keeper Jimmy Nielsen had to make just two saves for his

seventh shutout. Nielsen's only serious test came in the 43rd

minute, when he had to dive to his right to deflect Mista's hard

shot from 15 yards.
