Shkelzen Gashi will go down in the books as the Week 11 AT&T Goal of the Week winner, but his Colorado teammate Dominique Badji deserves a ton of credit for helping the Albanian to the award.
Badji spectacularly set up Gashi’s second goal in the Rapids’ 3-0 win against San Jose on Saturday, playing a pass between the legs of Quakes defender Florian Jungwirth while falling to the ground to give Gashi a one-on-one with goalkeeper David Bingham. Gashi made no mistake with his chance, firing past the onrushing Bingham to give the Rapids a three-goal advantage in the 56th minute at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
