Shakhtar Donetsk keeper Anatoliy Trubin put in an impressive performance last night as his side held Inter Milan to a 0-0 draw.
This was Shakhtar’s second fixture in the champions league this season after a surprise 3-2 win against Real Madrid in their opening game.
19 year old goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin stole the plaudits last night after a wonder save to deny a Romelu Lukaku freekick.
The U21 Ukraine international somehow managed to get his fingertips to Lukaku’s thunderbolt of a strike and tip the ball onto the bar. Lukaku looked on in disbelief as he was certain that his shot was destined for the net.
Trubin also made 3 more saves on the night to maintain Shakhtar’s unbeaten start to the Champions League campaign.
Luís Castro has shown great faith in the young goalkeeper who has started both Champions League games this season against European giants Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
Anatoliy Trubin only made his debut for the senior team last year but has repaid his managers faith in him thus far. It appears that he may now be favoured as number one over veteran, Andriy Pyatov.
36 year old, Pyatov has provided 13 years of service to Shaktar Donetsk, but now may be his time to step aside and allow a new talent to thrive.
Last nights result saw Shakhtar Donetsk remain top of Group B in the Champions League. Despite the odds being against them, Shakhtar are the only team in their group to have won a a game.
Trubin undoubtedly has a bright future and all eyes will be on him again, next week as Shakhtar Donetsk face Borussia Mönchengladbach in their third Champions League group tie.
