Higuita's aggressive style is likened to playing which outdoor game?

  • Tennis

  • Basketball

  • Rugby

  • Sweeper

Answer

The answer is sweeper, which refers to a position in field hockey or ice hockey where a player is responsible for clearing the ball or puck from the defensive zone. Higuita's playing style, known as the "sweeper-keeper" style, involves the goalkeeper leaving their traditional position to participate in defending the goal by clearing the ball away from the penalty area, similar to a sweeper in field hockey or ice hockey.
