COMMERCE CITY — Undermanned but resilient, the Rapids came from behind Saturday night for a dramatic 2-1 victory, scoring twice in the last 10 minutes to defeat the Columbus Crew.
With Columbus leading 1-0 from a goal off a deflection, Kevin Doyle erased the deficit on a counterattack in the 80th minute with a sliding stab at the ball with his foot to finish a cross by Marlon Hairston. Doyle was replaced at the restart by Alan Gordon, who scored the game-winner with a header off the post in the 88th minute. The veteran Gordon, known for scoring late game-turning goals, was an offseason acquisition for the Rapids and the goal was his first for the club.
