A breakaway on a goalie is always one of the most exciting moments of any 11-a-side game, leaving the goalie with the big decision: “Should I Stay or Should I Go?”. A heroic slide at the feet of an onrushing striker is as heroic as it gets for a goalie. However the margin for error is tiny, and a slight hesitation or misjudgement usually results in penalty and red card or a tap in for your opponent.
