Marco Pappa doesn’t need to see the ball to be nominated for MLS goal of the week.
“When the ball was coming to me, the light came right in my face,” Pappa said after his game-winning goal Saturday. “I didn’t really see the ball.”
His 95th-minute volley — his first as a member of the Rapids — helped Colorado take all three points from LA Galaxy in the Rapids’ home opener.
“Jedi,” coach Pablo Mastroeni said of Pappa’s blind shot.
Voting is being conducted on MLS’ official website for goal of the week.
