Alan Gordon scores big goals, late in games. Often times with his head. When the MLS vet signed with the Rapids in January, Rapids fans must’ve quietly hoped they’d finally been on the wrong side of a Gordo goal for the last time.
But there Alan Gordon was. Warming up on the touchline. Waiting to replace Kevin Doyle in the 82nd minute of a match in early June. He’d yet to tally for his new club, but everyone in the building must’ve known this moment was exactly why the native Californian was brought to Commerce City. Minutes ticking off the clock.
