Mohamed Salah scored twice in his full debut for Trabzonspor, helping the team to a 2-1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir in the Turkish Super Lig. The 34-year-old winger, who joined the Turkish club on a free transfer from Liverpool after a successful nine-year stint, also had two goals ruled out for offside and a foul in the build-up.
Salah made his league debut, having previously appeared as a substitute in Trabzonspor's season opener. He put his side ahead in the eighth minute after Basaksehir goalkeeper Muhammed Sengezer failed to hold onto the ball. However, Basaksehir's Eldor Shomurodov equalised from the penalty spot in the 19th minute. Salah restored Trabzonspor's lead three minutes later with a goal, and his second came in stoppage time, although it was chalked off for a foul.
Salah will now focus on Thursday's Europa League playoff second leg away to Ferencvaros following Trabzonspor's 1-0 home defeat in the first leg.
