Salah opened the scoring in the eighth minute and restored Trabzonspor’s lead early in the second half to secure the three points at Papara Park.
Başakşehir equalised from the penalty spot in the 19th minute through Eldor Shomurodov. The visitors remained competitive throughout but were unable to find a second equaliser after Salah’s second goal in the 48th minute.
Trabzonspor controlled large periods of the contest and created a series of opportunities. Salah’s clinical finishing proved decisive, with the Egyptian forward converting both of his chances to give the home side the win.
The result provides Trabzonspor with a positive start to their Super Lig campaign. Başakşehir will look to bounce back in their next fixture after a competitive display that saw them level the scores mid-way through the first half.
Salah’s two goals were the standout contribution on the day. The forward’s movement and finishing quality made the difference in a tightly contested match.
Both teams now turn their attention to the next round of fixtures. Trabzonspor will take confidence from the victory and Salah’s early impact, while Başakşehir will seek an improved result in the coming weeks.
