The NZ keeper. And I'm being a little harsh, but you shouldn't be getting beat by headers from the top of the box.
When an opposing player is thundering down the flank like that, you have to be careful about your positioning. Until they "turn the corner" you can't be that far off your line. And when the cross is served, and it's clear you aren't going to be able to get there, you need to drop a step or two.
She's very flat footed, which is almost definitely because her mind was caught in two places.

And I'm increasingly feeling like keepers that are getting beat off kickoffs need to be shamed.

Am I wrong that the goalie was way out of position there?
Perhaps. Maybe there's a reason that goalie is playing in the USL and not MLS.
I mean, kinda?
You just don't expect a ball coming at your net when it's pinging around near midfield. Goalies are expected to act as a quasi-sweeper these days, so when the ball is just over the midfield stripe, they are going to be sitting near the top of their box, waiting for a long ball to get dumped in.

His haircut and neck tattoos are a clear giveaway that he is prone to bad decisions.
