US EditionKazakhstan's Anarbekov Thwarts Belgium's World Cup Dreams
Kazakhstan held Belgium to a 1-1 draw with 17-year-old Satpayev scoring early and goalkeeper Anarbekov making multiple crucial saves including a last-minute stop.
- Temirlan Anarbekov's saves at the Astana Arena on Saturday secured a 1-1 draw for Kazakhstan, denying Nicolas Raskin's last-minute chance to clinch qualification for Belgium.
- A sloppy pass from Arthur Theate allowed teenager Dastan Satpayev to score Kazakhstan's early opener, but Hans Vanaken equalised early in the second half with a header from Timothy Castagne's cross.
- Sustained Belgian pressure saw Anarbekov deny Vanaken, Trossard and De Ketelaere in the first half, and he also cleared a ricochet off Alip in the 61st minute.
- The draw left Belgium two points clear of second-placed North Macedonia, and Belgium remain heavily fancied to win the group with a home match against Liechtenstein on Tuesday.
- Despite the red card upgrade for Islam Chesnokov following a review by Donatas Rumsas, Kazakhstan held on late for the draw.
