Mohamed Salah quickly broke the deadlock in Trabzonspor’s match against Istanbul Basaksehir, scoring his first goal for the Turkish side. The Egyptian forward found the net in the 8th minute, and his celebration with Ernest Muçi also drew attention.
The goal that opened the match
Trabzonspor took the lead early in the Turkish league meeting against Istanbul Basaksehir. It was Mohamed Salah who finished in the 8th minute, giving the team a fast start to the match.
For the Egyptian star, this was his first concrete moment in terms of goals with his new shirt, following his arrival at the Turkish club.
A better start after the first matches
Salah made his debut in the opening week of the league, in the 1-1 draw against Kasımpaşa. Then, in the European clash against Ferencvaros, he was unable to find the goal.
The strike against Basaksehir therefore marks his first step in the Turkish league, at least statistically, after his first two appearances amid high expectations around him.
The moment with Muçi after the goal celebration
One of the images that attracted attention after the finish was Ernest Muçi joining Salah’s celebration. The Albania international joined his teammate immediately after the goal.
This episode comes as another visible moment for Muçi in Trabzonspor’s attacking unit, this time alongside one of the most well-known names in world football.
The 8th-minute goal gave weight not only to the match against Basaksehir, but also to the start of Salah’s journey at Trabzonspor. For the Albanian public, the focus also remains on Ernest Muçi’s role in this team and on the space he is gaining alongside big names.
