It depends on the distance between the goalie and the ball and the velocity of the shot. From 18 yards with a ball traveling at 65mph the goalie has .566 seconds to react before the ball crosses the goal line. Since the goalie is probably playing off the line a yard or two the time to react will be slightly less.
