During the 2020 regular season, buzz around New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Turner (Fairfield) reached new heights.

The 26-year-old ultimately placed second in MLS Goalkeeper of the Year voting behind Andre Blake (UConn) of the Philadelphia Union, and his U.S. men’s national team stock rose amid rumors of a potential move to Europe.

Turner's trajectory continued Sunday, when he denied Nani on a penalty kick in the 74th minute of New England’s 3-1 win over hosts Orlando City SC. In the Eastern Conference Semifinal at Exploria Stadium, it was a pivotal moment alongside Mauricio Pereyra’s red card in the 60th minute.
