The Kansas City Wizards ended their training sessions in Argentina with a convincing 4-0 victory over Argentinean side River Plate on Wednesday.

First-round MLS SuperDraft pick Michael Harrington began the scoring in the 23rd minute. Midfielder Lance Watson sent a through ball to forward Ryan Pore, who beat River Plate's goalkeeper and then slotted a pass to Harrington for the goal.

Harrington scored again in the 38th minute when he bent a shot, on a nice pass from midfielder Kerry Zavagnin, into the upper-right corner of the net. The Wizards ended the first half with a 2-0 lead.

The Wizards continued capitalizing on scoring opportunities in the second half when rookie forward Willy Guadarrama scored in the 75th minute, followed by a goal from Ryan Raybould in the 80th.
