Yeah, he went running to the corner last week against an older opponent

because the opponent was by far closer to the ball then his teammates. Fought with the guy in the corner for a few seconds and actually won the ball and cleared it. So some sprinting, and some pushing and shoving that a full field outdoor goalie doesn't always have to do.

I was really impressed when Matt won that ball, because the guy he was up against was 2 or 3 years older AND was cheating by grabbing his back arm and pulling (so ref wouldn't see). Still held him off and got the clear.
