Toronto, ON (June 2, 2021) – York United Football Club can confirm both Lisandro Cabrera and Mateo Hernández have joined Costa Rica side Guadalupe FC on loan until the end of the year.

The Argentinean pair had been with Dominican Republic outfit Atletico Pantoja but a Covid-19 situation saw the cancellation of the club's most recent league fixture against Jarabacoa FC last weekend and ensured a proposed switch to Guadalupe was fast-tracked for the duo.

“It is unfortunate the way a few things have developed timing wise," admits York United FC CEO/President & GM, Angus McNab.

"But when Atletico Pantoja’s game was cancelled at the weekend, we all spoke and the decision was made to send the guys to Costa Rica a bit earlier than planned. Guadalupe are a fantastic club and this is a great opportunity to secure a high level of competition for Lisandro and Mateo while we wait on further developments with their work visas.”

Cabrera's name will forever be etched in Pantoja's history.

The 23-year-old striker, who signed for York United last November, had only been with Atletico for a month when he scored the club's very first goal in the CONCACAF Champions League against Mexican heavyweights Monterrey back in April.
