Sadybekov: Last-Minute Goal Ignites Kazakh Football

After the match between the Almaty “Kairat” and the Belgian “Bruges” on January 20, 2026, Kazakh fans had another sports “crash” – Adilet Sadybekov, Zakon.kz reports.

He scored the only goal scored against the opponents. Moreover, Sadybekov did this, coming on as a substitute, in the last extra minutes of the game, making a spectacular strike from outside the penalty area.

Despite the fact that Kairat was ultimately defeated by Bruges, the Kazakhs do not lose heart and continue to support our team:

  • Our guys are better than foreign players.
  • The game did not disappoint…
  • “Kayrat”, I don’t know, thanks for the LCH.
  • Our tigers – more to come.
  • Life continues even after the fall, we are all together.
  • Kairat Go ahead

Not without criticism, of course. In the comments from the Kazakhs, goalkeeper Temirlan Anarbekov got it, especially for the first and second goals missed. In addition, the fans did not like the play of foreign legionnaires: Edmilson, Valery Gromyko, Jorginho. Well, commentators have not forgotten about Kairat coach Rafael Urazbakhtin himself: some are generally dissatisfied with his work, others were indignant that he released Kazakh football players as replacements too late. The coach, commenting on the loss, noted that they make mistakes where they must play calmly and correctly.

But defender Adilet Sadybekov after this game joined the list of favorites in Kazakh football.

Fans actively subscribe to his Instagram page and leave encouraging and enthusiastic comments:

  • Handsome.
  • Bravo!
  • Brugge’s four goals cannot compare to Adilet’s one goal.
  • Sadybekov top-top, fall-fall.
  • Best.
  • No matter how many points we lost, that 1 goal was a breakthrough. I actually cried at the end.
  • Sadybekov, get ready for the morning 100,000 subscribers… You are our new crash.
  • You are my hero, come to Brugge.

Defensive midfielder Adilet Sadybekov has been playing for the Kairat team since July 2022. He also played for the Kazakhstan national team.

23-year-old Adilet became the third Kazakhstani to score in the Champions League. Before him, goals were scored by Dastan Satpayev and Olzhas Baibek, who hit the Copenhagen goal.

Next on the schedule, “Kairat” has the final game at the general stage – on January 28, it will play away against London “Arsenal”.

Goalkeeper “Kairata” Temirlan Anarbekov and Sherkhan Kalmurza became Sadybekov’s idols.
