Salah scored two goals in his first start for Trabzonspor, but both were disallowed. The team won 2-1 against İstanbul Başakşehir. The 34‑year‑old joined on a free transfer and is now preparing for the Europa League playoff second leg.

Salah's First Start

Salah scored two goals in his first league start for Trabzonspor. The 34‑year‑old joined the club on a free transfer from Liverpool and celebrated the team's first win of the season with a 2-1 victory.

Two Goals, Two Disallowed

His first goal came in the 8th minute when İstanbul Başakşehir goalkeeper Muhammed Sengezer failed to hold the ball. In the 19th minute, Başakşehir’s Eldor Shomurovov equalised from the penalty spot. The second goal was scored in the 33rd minute, running down the right side and exchanging passes with Ernest Muci before slotting the ball into the far corner.

Salah’s effort in the 34th minute was ruled out for a foul in the build‑up. In the 38th minute, a long‑range effort found the empty net from a corner, but it was ruled offside.

Upcoming Matches

After a 1-0 home defeat in the first leg, Salah will now focus on the Europa League playoff second leg against Ferencváros on Thursday. Trabzonspor aims to win that match and advance to the group stage.
