It was Kljestan's 40th assist in all competitions for RBNY - and he is just the second player in club history to reach that mark. On the club's all-time, all-competitions assist-making list, Kljestan has broken free of the legends clustered on 39 career assists for the team - Tab Ramos and Amado Guevara - to stand alone in second place, behind only Thierry Henry.
But he stands alone in that elite group of RBNY play-makers for the rate at which he has accumulated his assists. Per MetroFanatic.com's list of all-time, all-competitions assist-makers for the Red Bulls, the current top four:
| Name | Games Played | Starts | Minutes | Assists | Assists/90 |
| Thierry Henry | 135 | 130 | 11510 | 49 | 0.38 |
| Sacha Kljestan | 88 | 83 | 7298 | 40 | 0.49 |
| Amado Guevara | 117 | 114 | 10284 | 39 | 0.34 |
| Tab Ramos | 131 | 122 | 10447 | 39 | 0.34 |
In league play, he is also second on the club's all-time list, with 38 career regular-season assists for RBNY - just four behind Henry's club-record 42.
Kljestan's assist against Columbus was a match-winner, so he has moved past Henry in one regard: he is now the record-holder for regular-season game-winning assists for RBNY with 12 in his career for the club to date.
And Kljestan is also moving steadily up the MLS list of all-time regular-season assist-makers. His career in the league includes three and a half seasons with Chivas USA. He currently has 71 career assists in MLS regular-season games: good for 16th on the all-time list.
