Schelotto Scores And Assists As Crew Rides Rapids To Victory

Guillermo Barros Schelotto scored an eighth minute penalty kick and assisted Steven Lenhart on an 80th minute goal as the Eastern Conference-leading Columbus Crew defeated the Colorado Rapids 3-1 in Major League Soccer play at Crew Stadium Saturday.

Jason Garey also tallied a goal for the Crew, who won for the ninth time in 11 home games and is 12-5-4 overall with 40 points.

Columbus hosts red-hot FC Dallas, who extended their current unbeaten streak to 11 games earlier Saturday over Chivas USA at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, TX, next Saturday.

Colorado, who is 1-3-7 in their last 11 games, got their lone goal from Pablo Mastroeni and are now 7-6-7 with 28 points, good for sixth place in the Western Conference. The Rapids host the Houston Dynamo, who snapped a 10-game losing streak Saturday by beating the Chicago Fire, next Saturday.
