fear before matches

i'm 16 and i've been a goalkeeper for around 5 years. i love the position and do pretty well in training and have lots of fun. but when its weekend again and theres a match to play, i get a lot of anxiety and stress. i've been avoiding playing matches for some time now and letting our second goalkeeper play due to me being scared. (my excuse was that i'm still a little injured) im finally playing a match again later today but i cant help but be scared. i feel like i always make more mistakes in games than training. how can i overcome this crippling fear. i love my position but i genuinely hate matches. no matter what i try.
