Scraping data using Nokogiri

I am trying to scrape data using Nokogiri. The code I am trying to access is:

<div class="main-header">
    <span>Make More Money</span>
</div>

I want to get the text "Make More Money", only. Here is my code:

url = 'xyz.com'
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open(url)) 
doc.at_css('main-header span').text

Using this I am getting a NilClass error. What do I need to do to fix this?

The . for the class main-header is missing. It should be 

doc.at_css('.main-header span').text
