FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Chad Marshall scored his fourth goal of the season and
the Columbus Crew held on for a 1-0 victory over the New England Revolution on
Saturday night.
The Eastern Conference-leading Crew (15-6-5) extended their unbeaten streak
to seven (6-0-1) matches, beating New England for the second time in three
meetings this season.
Marshall headed in the goal off Robbie Rogers' corner kick from the left in
the 35th minute. It was his third game-winning goal and the first surrendered on
a corner kick this season by New England (12-8-6).
Columbus played the final 25 minutes short-handed after captain Frankie
Hejduk was issued his second yellow card of the match for interfering with New
England goalie Matt Reis.
William Hesmer notched his eighth shutout of the season, having to make just
two saves.
Columbus was without Guillermo Schelotto, leading MLS with assists, who has
missed the last three matches with a hamstring strain.
The Crew beat New England 4-0 in September after losing 1-0 in May to the
Revolution.
The Revolution, winless (0-5-4) when trailing at halftime, have six shutout
losses.
