Way to leave it late, Colorado.

With just a few seconds left in Saturday's match, the Colorado Rapids pulled off a last-gasp winner over the mighty LA Galaxy, Marco Pappa scoring the only goal of the game in the 95th minute of play, with just 20 seconds left to go in the match.

Pappa's goal came from Colorado's final attacking lunge, as he and Kevin Doyle combined up top with a series of passes and flicks before the final shot rocketed right past goalkeeper Brian Rowe, smacking the crossbar before smashing into the back of the net.

Deadlocked at 0-0 for 95 minutes, Pappa's goal proved to be the late winner that gives Colorado all three points against a tough Western Conference opponent. It sent Dick's Sporting Goods Park into pure jubilation and gave Pablo Mastroeni a rare victory over Bruce Arena's side.

Brilliant stuff.
