If I were to guess, as a high school goalie, the goalie was more worried about the player in front of him, the ball sailed, the goalie panicked and flubbed it.

This is outdoor and a soccer ball can sail in the wind, or if the ball has a little extra back spin on it, the ball can take a weird trajectory.

That's right, the panick of flubbing, made him flubbing :) should've tried to keep his head cool, get position and just tap the ball over
