Salah scores two goals, has two disallowed in first start for Trabzonspor
Salah started his first game for the Turkish Super Lig side, whom he joined on a free transfer earlier this month.
Mohamed Salah made a memorable debut for Trabzonspor, scoring a brace in their 2-1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir. The Egyptian winger joined the Turkish club on a free transfer from Liverpool after a successful nine-year stint at Anfield. Making his first league start for Trabzonspor, Salah opened the scoring in the eighth minute with a well-taken goal, capitalizing on a defensive error by Basaksehir goalkeeper Muhammed Sengezer.
Basaksehir equalized in the 19th minute through Eldor Shomurodov, but Salah regained the lead three minutes later. He beat the full-back and dinked the ball into the far corner after a swift combination with Ernest Muci. Salah's goal was disallowed for a foul in the build-up, and another was ruled out for offside when he scored a long-range effort from the corner kick.
The 34-year-old winger's standout performance helped Trabzonspor secure their first win of the Turkish Super Lig season. The team will now focus on their Europa League playoff second leg away to Ferencvaros after suffering a 1-0 home defeat in the first leg.
