Salah’s Turkish Debut Ends Without Goal or Assist as Trabzonspor Settle for Draw

Mohamed Salah’s first official appearance for Trabzonspor did not come with the winning result his fans had hoped for, but it marked the beginning of a new chapter in his career as Trabzonspor drew 1-1 away to Kasimpasa in the opening round of the 2026-2027 Turkish Super Lig season.
Salah started the match on the bench before head coach Fatih Tekke introduced him in the 58th minute, giving the Egyptian star his first official appearance in a Trabzonspor shirt.
Trabzonspor went into halftime with the lead after Noa Savio found the net in the 43rd minute, giving the visitors an advantage before the break.
Kasimpasa responded early in the second half, with Adrian Benedyczak converting a penalty in the 56th minute to bring the hosts level, just before Salah entered the game.
After Salah came on, Trabzonspor pushed forward in search of a winning goal, while Kasimpasa also looked for an opportunity to take all three points at home. Neither side managed to find another breakthrough, however, and the match ended 1-1.
The result gives both teams one point from the opening round of the Turkish league, while Salah begins his new journey with Trabzonspor with his first official appearance.
Although the draw was not the perfect start for Trabzonspor, Salah’s involvement will remain one of the main talking points. The Egyptian forward is expected to gradually take on a bigger role as the season progresses, with fans eagerly waiting to see his impact in the matches ahead.
