goalkeeper save

Net denial moment

A goalkeeper save is a shot stopped by a goalkeeper, preventing a goal.

In soccer, hockey, and similar sports, saves are a key statistic for measuring goalkeeper performance: She made twelve saves in the match.

A spectacular save—diving, acrobatic, or last-second—often becomes a highlight: That goalkeeper save kept them in the game.
