Schelotto, the MLS Player of the Month for August, continued his string of contributing to Crew goals with a goal and two assists on the first three scores. It gave him two goals and eight assists on 10 consecutive Crew goals over the past four games.
With Schelotto resting on the bench for the final seven minutes, his streak ended when ex-Revolution midfielder Pat Noonan set up substitute forward Jason Garey for his second goal of the match in the 90th minute.
The Crew took a 2-0 lead into the break thanks to Schelotto. He put Columbus ahead in the 39th minute with his sixth tally of the season and added his league-best 17th assist in the 45th minute when his free kick was headed in by rookie defender Andy Iro for his first goal.
