Typically 'square up', particuarly in sport, means to turn to face with your whole body (so that your shoulders are equal distances from the person you are facing). This is what I expect it means in the sentence you have provided. In soccer, 'square' can also mean an equal distance down the pitch (so to move alongside someone laterally).

- Through context however, I don't think this was the meaning in your sentence (I assume that Rafael was the goalkeeper).
- In a confrontation, to 'square up' with someone, would be to use body language to suggest a fight.
