Kairat goalkeeper Temirlan Anarbekov might not have started the match against Celtic in the starting lineup. The thing is, the player is considered the club’s second-choice keeper, while the first-choice goalkeeper Aleksandr Zarutskiy was forced to miss this match due to injury.
Under these circumstances, having started, Anarbekov did not concede a goal in the game and made 5 saves. Even more noteworthy — in the penalty shootout Temirlan managed to stop 3 opponents’ shots; Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel did not manage to save a single shot.
It should be noted that Kairat advanced to the Champions League group stage for the first time in its history. This victory was remembered not only for the result, but also as a vivid demonstration of character, preparation, and confidence — regarded as a second-choice keeper, Temirlan Anarbekov became the main hero of this historic night.
