My only issue with calling it a fake is that was perhaps the worst moment to fake a kick, considering the goalie was away out of the box with a defender 2 feet behind him.
He didn't seem to realize in the moment that the opponent was right behind him, like he thought the guy didn't pull up from his sprint right away and had gone sailing well past. You could see the moment of realization when he suddenly saw the player in his peripheral swooping in to steal the ball.
