Surpass in standout goalkeeping (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outgo

'surpass' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'in standout goalkeeping' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'OUTGO' is hidden in the letters of 'standout goalkeeping'.

(Other definitions for outgo that I've seen before include "Move faster than; exit" , "rate of expenditure" , "Exceed" , "Travel faster than (arch.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
