KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Igor Simutenkov scored in the 86th minute to lift the Kansas City Wizards to a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night.

Simutenkov took a midfield pass from Kerry Zavagnin pass about 30 yards from the goal and slotted the ball between the legs of goalkeeper Joe Cannon.

The league-leading Earthquakes (12-7-2) opened the scoring in the 25th minute when defender Eddie Robinson headed Richard Mulrooney's corner kick past goalkeeper Tony Meola.

Five minutes later, Kansas City forward Stephen Armstrong took Chris Klein's pass just outside the penalty box and kicked the ball past Cannon.

Kansas City (7-6-7) controlled most of the play in handing the Earthquakes their fourth straight road loss.
