Mohamed Salah scored twice on his debut for Trabzonspor, helping the team secure a 2-1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir in the Turkish Super Lig. The Egyptian forward, who recently joined Trabzonspor from Liverpool on a two-year deal, opened the scoring in his third appearance for the club. Salah took advantage of a mistake from Basaksehir's goalkeeper, Muhammed Sengezer, to put Trabzonspor ahead with a deflected shot off the inside of the post.
However, the game was levelized by Eldor Shomurodov, who scored the equalizer from the penalty spot for Basaksehir. Salah then restored Trabzonspor's lead with a first-time finish from close range. Despite having a late opportunity to complete a hat-trick, Salah's shot was ruled out for offside in injury time. The defeat saw Istanbul Basaksehir collect a point, while Trabzonspor secured a crucial three points as they continued their campaign in the Turkish Super Lig.
Salah's impressive start to his Turkish football career has made a significant impact on the team's results.
