The Crew (3-3-2) played catch-up most of the game. Ross Paule scored in the 40th minute on a missed shot by teammate Kyle Martino to tie it at 1.
Columbus came back again in the 76th minute when Brian Dunseth knocked in Jeff Cunningham’s header after a corner kick by paule.
Down the stretch, New England goalkeeper Adin Brown stonewalled chances from Paule, Frankie Hejduk and Brian West between the 78th and 80th minute.
The Crew are now 1-2-1 at home.
