Taylor Twellman scored in the 72nd minute to give the New England Revolution a 1-0 victory over the host Kansas City Wizards on Sunday night.

Twellman’s goal came after Shalrie Joseph sent a long pass forward to Khano Smith on the left side. Smith drove hard into the Wizards’ end and nearly got to the end line before firing a pass across the mouth of the Kansas City goal. Twellman raced in from the far post and punched the ball into an open net for his 10th goal of the season.

New England, playing its second road game in three days, improved to 11-5-6 with 39 points and extended its lead in Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference to six points over D.C. United and New York Red Bulls, who are tied in second.

The Wizards, 8-7-5 with 29 points, are a distant fourth. Attendance for the game at Arrowhead Stadium was announced at 9,035.
