Mohamed Salah scored twice in Trabzonspor's 2-1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir on Sunday. The Egyptian forward, 34, joined the Turkish Super Lig club this summer from English champions Liverpool on a two-year contract. Salah, who had failed to find the net in his first two games for Trabzonspor, including a 1-1 draw against Kasimpasa and a 1-0 loss to Ferencvaros, made a standout performance in the match against Basaksehir.
He put his team ahead in the eighth minute, capitalizing on a mistake by Basaksehir goalkeeper Muhammed Sengezer. Trabzonspor's Eldor Shomurodov equalized in the 19th minute from the penalty spot, but Salah restored Trabzonspor's lead three minutes into the second half. Despite a stoppage-time effort being ruled out for a foul and another for offside, Salah's brace solidified Trabzonspor's fourth-place position in the Super Liga table, level on points with Samsunspor and Galatasaray and two points behind Genclerbirligi.
