You need to watch this jaw-dropping 40-yard bullet by Gashi

The Colorado Rapids came into Sunday's return leg vs. the LA Galaxy already down a goal. The Rapids have never been a high-scoring team so they needed a little bit of magic.

Shkelzen Gashi was more than happy to oblige:

OmGashi he's done it again.

1-0 @ColoradoRapids. #COLvLA https://t.co/0O2grx8XNA

Talk about a monster strike. It curls over the out-stretched hands of Galaxy goalkeeper Brian Rowe, and just like that, Gashi had the series all tied up.

Even better, his 37-yard strike is longest-distance goal in MLS playoffs for at least the past five years:

In a cruel twist of fate, Gashi was injured and had to be carried off the field just before halftime. Whether the Rapids advance or not, Gashi still did his part.
