COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Emilio Renteria converted a penalty kick in the 67th minute as the Columbus Crew ran its unbeaten streak to seven by tying Seattle 1-1 on Saturday night in Major League Soccer.
The Crew (3-1-4) got the penalty kick when Chad Marshall was pulled down by Patrick Ianni during a corner kick. Columbus, which hasn’t lost since the season opener, has scored half of its eight goals via penalty kicks.
Fredy Montero put Seattle (3-3-4) up in the seventh minute by slicing through defenders Marshall and Julius James at the center of the box to flick in a cross by Erik Friberg.
Seattle goalkeeper Kasey Keller pushed Andres Mendoza’s free kick from 23 yards over the crossbar in the first minute of stoppage time as Seattle went to 2-0-3 against the Crew.
