Ernest Muçi has opened his personal account for this season with Trabzonspor. The Albanian forward scored his first goal of the campaign in the match against Gençlerbirliği, marking another important moment at the start of the league season.
First goal of the season for Muçi
In the match Trabzonspor were playing against Gençlerbirliği, Muçi scored his team’s fourth goal. The move was completed after an assist from Salah, while the Albanian put the ball into the net to register his first goal of the season.
This finish comes after the opening weeks in which the player had contributed, but had not yet found the back of the net. The goal against Gençlerbirliği ends that wait and puts his name on the scoresheet as well.
The partnership with Salah is producing results
On this occasion it was Salah who set up Muçi, in a move that produced Trabzonspor’s fourth goal. The episode also stands out because the opposite had happened earlier: Muçi had assisted Salah.
This shows that the Albanian forward is continuing to be regularly involved in the team’s attacking phase, not only as a finisher but also as a player who creates chances for his teammates.
Three direct goal contributions this season
With the goal against Gençlerbirliği, Muçi now has three direct goal contributions this season with Trabzonspor. The 25-year-old’s tally so far includes one goal and two assists.
Both of his previous assists had gone to Salah, while this time the roles were reversed. From a statistical standpoint, this is a start that keeps Muçi directly involved in the attacking output of the Turkish team.
For Muçi, the first goal of the season comes as a positive sign at the beginning of this campaign with Trabzonspor.
If he maintains this rate of contributions, the Albanian is expected to remain one of the names that will carry weight in the Turkish side’s attacking department.
