Galaxy Beat Wizards to Snap 10-Game Skid

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Landon Donovan scored in the 36th and 91st minutes to help the Los Angeles Galaxy beat the Kansas City Wizards 2-0 on Saturday night and snap a 10-game losing streak.

It also was the first win for last-place Los Angeles (3-10-3) under new head coach Frank Yallop. The Wizards (6-7-2) lost for the third time in eight days and fell into third place in Major League Soccer's Eastern Conference.

Donovan, fresh off playing for the United States in the World Cup, scored his first goal after midfielder Josh Gardner dribbled around fallen Wizards defender Jimmy Conrad and drove into the Kansas City penalty area. Gardner shuffled a pass to Herculez, who fired a shot. Conrad recovered to block Gomez's shot, but Donovan was stationed just outside the right post and knocked the rebound home.

The second goal came in extra time when Quavas Kirk slid a cross to an unmarked Donovan dashing in from the left side.

Before Saturday, the Galaxy had last won on April 29, 3-2 victory over Real Salt Lake.
