Salah's first goal came in the 10th minute, as he fired a shot in pivot that just crossed the line after a deflection and rebound off the post. The 34-year-old Egyptian captain then sealed the win with a left-footed finish in the 48th minute, after a combination with Ernest Muçi. This marked Salah's first goals for Trabzonspor, having remained goalless in his previous two appearances for the club.
The former Liverpool winger has now found his scoring form with his new team, having struggled to make an impact in his early games. Salah has 119 caps for the Egyptian national team and previously played for Liverpool. His move to Trabzonspor was confirmed in early August, with the player joining the club on a free transfer.
Salah's double against Istanbul Basaksehir has given Trabzonspor a winning start to the Süper Lig season, with the club now looking to build on this momentum. The Egyptian international will be looking to continue his scoring form in the coming games, as Trabzonspor aim to challenge for a top spot in the league.
