Answer
The answer to the question lies in his unconventional goalkeeping style, primarily known as the "sweeper-keeper" role. While traditionally goalkeepers remain near the goal, Higuita ventured far beyond the penalty area, acting as an additional defender. This adventurous approach allowed him to intercept passes, launch attacking plays, and provide a creative edge to his team's gameplay.
