Assist King! Guzman sets another CPL record with fourth in seven games
Guzman has made an incredible impact since joining on loan from Liga MX side Atlas.

HOORAY FOR JORGE

He's only been at the club since the end of July but Jorge Guzman has now set two separate Canadian Premier League records.

When he arrived on loan from Liga MX side Atlas, Guzman's contribution was immediate with three assists in his first 99 minutes of action, in games against Atletico Ottawa and Pacific FC. That had never been accomplished in the CPL before.

And now, Guzman has his second league record in the bag.

Having expertly curled in the cross for Nyal Higgins to head home from close range in the 1-0 away win over Vancouver FC on Friday night, the 20-year-old now has four league assists to his name after just seven appearances. And that - once again - is a league record.

"Jorge is a young, talented player with a lot of potential

"He sometimes explodes and gives his best and today was a very good game. Sometimes, you need to convince players and remind them every day that they are good players and they can give more. Today was the day. I'm very happy for him, I rely on his quality and skill and will continue supporting him."
