36-year old Guillermo Barros Schelotto has helped Columbus 3-2 win against the Kansas City Wizards at Crew Stadium.
"I think he's playing better than last season," Crew coach Robert Warzycha said.
"You see how many goals he has. He has four goals and seems very active. He's one of the best players on the field every time he steps out there for our team.
"Even at the end of the game you see him making tackles and chasing the defenders. That's a player you want on the team."
