Crossword Genius

Punch from goalkeeper for a team (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perforate

'punch' is the definition.
(I know that punch can be written as perforate)

'from goalkeeper for a team' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'PERFORATE' can be found hidden inside 'goalkeeper for a team'.

(Other definitions for perforate that I've seen before include "Puncture" , "punch" , "pass through hole" , "bore!" , "Make hole or holes through" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
