COLUMBUS, OHIO — Guillermo Barros Schelotto scored two goals in the second half, and the Columbus Crew rallied past Chivas USA, 2-1, on Sunday to extend its unbeaten streak to nine matches.

Schelotto, who tied the match in the 61st minute, scored the game-winner in the 87th minute for the defending MLS Cup champions. The Argentine forward took a pass from Gino Padula inside the penalty area and slotted a shot past Chivas goalkeeper Zach Thornton for his league-leading 10th goal.
