How can I set the background color properly?

I do these challenges and it seems like the program doesn't recognize certain things. It asks to make the background color "tomato", to which I comply. And it STILL keeps asking me if the background color is correct!

style.css
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px); {
.main-header {
  color: white;
  background-color: tomato;
}

}
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

Rhonda;

You have a syntax error in your code. There is an errant semi-colon after your media query statement.

Happy coding,

Ken
