COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – Alan Gordon has been a late-game hero for the Colorado Rapids, but he wouldn’t be able to do it without a lot of help from teammate Mohammed Saeid.
Saeid’s cross found Gordon in the Rapids’ 2-1 win over the Portland Timbers on Saturday night, showing the signs to the positive that the attacking pair is starting to develop on-field chemistry.
“Me and Saeid, we’re like twins,” Gordon cracked to reporters following the win. “Very odd, adopted twins. We jell really nice together. We’ve been playing well together the last week or so. We’ve got a great connection and for him to serve that ball in was fantastic.
