Sentence rephrasing?

Hi! everyone.
Could anyone rephrase the coloured part I couldn't quite understand it?
"DK used to be such a good keeper and batsman, but ever since Saha became the second choice keeper he has never performed internationally. Now it seems his legacy will be defined by missed moments that were match defining...
thanks!

" The thing that he will be remembered for is "missed moments that were match-defining" (it needs a hyphen). "missed moments" probably means missed opportunities during matches. "match-defining" means critical to the outcome of the match.
