WATCH: Gashi scores swerving shot from range image

Shkelzen Gashi sure likes scoring highlight-reel goals against the LA Galaxy.

The Colorado Rapids winger opened the scoring in Sunday's Western Conference semifinal second leg with a swerving shot from 35 yards out, as the 36th-minute strike evened the series at 1-1 on aggregate.

It was a remarkable goal that rivaled Gashi's rising rocket past Brian Rowe in a 1-1 draw with the Galaxy on Aug. 13.

But the strike was one of the Albanian's final acts Sunday, as Gashi exited at the break with an ankle injury and was seen sporting crutches on the bench as the second half kicked off.
