Like when magicians saw someone in half, cause you to stare and then, in the blink of an eye, piece that human being right back together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In York United\u2019s wonderful performance against Forge FC last Friday, who knew United midfielder Sebastian Guti\u00e9rrez had a little Harry Houdini in him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Colombian attacking midfielder, who joined the club in 2020, had a nice little magic trick prepared for Forge FC defender Dominic Samuel and goalkeeper Triston Henry. It was called: fake it and he\u2019ll drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 79<sup>th<\/sup> minute of the match, Guti\u00e9rrez played a one-two with Osaze De Rosario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guti\u00e9rrez faked the shot, sending Samuel sliding across the penalty area and swung the ball to his left side, only to fake the shot again sending Henry to the ground before tucking the ball into the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Colombian-Spanish hips came out for sure. He faked me and I was at the half-line, I thought he was going to shoot and he didn\u2019t and he rolled it in,\u201d said York United midfielder Jordan Wilson in the post-match press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve seen him do that many times in training. It\u2019s just nice to see it come to fruition in a game. And I think that\u2019s just a product of our overall performance. I think we wanted it a bit more than them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier in the week, York United stalwart Roger Thompson picked up an injury that would sideline the defender from this match. Wilson took his place alongside Dominick Zator and the two, held the backline all night long. The Nine Stripes were also without midfield-engine Max Ferrari, who was also out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being down a few key players, the boys found a way to beat Forge FC for their second win of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, unbelievable goal. My heart went\u2026 I don\u2019t know where it went when he did that dummy, I was like \u2018Just put it in the net,\u2019\u201d head coach of York United, Martin Nash, joked after the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnbelievable dummy. Great confidence. And that\u2019s what we\u2019ve seen from Seba (Sebastian) he\u2019s a great player. He\u2019s got good technique. He\u2019s a great finisher.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier in the week, York United kicked off the Canadian Championship preliminary round against Atletico Ottawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their next league match comes against Valour FC this Sunday. Kick-off is at 5.00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Robert Belardi<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F31271&#038;t=York%20United%20take%20out%20Forge%20FC%20in%20CPL%20semifinals%20rematch&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F31271&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F05%2F2022-05-12-02.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=York%20United%20take%20out%20Forge%20FC%20in%20CPL%20semifinals%20rematch\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F31271&#038;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=York%20United%20take%20out%20Forge%20FC%20in%20CPL%20semifinals%20rematch&#038;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F31271\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magic is, of course, the art of deception.
