Mohamed Salah delivered one of his best performances for Trabzonspor as the Egyptian star led his side to a convincing 4-0 victory over Galatasaray on Saturday in the sixth round of the 2026-27 Turkish Super Lig season.

The big game turned into a special night for Salah, who scored a hat-trick and provided an assist, meaning he was directly involved in all four of Trabzonspor’s goals against the league leaders.

Salah needed only four minutes to make his mark. The Egyptian forward broke through on goal and finished the chance to give Trabzonspor the perfect start.

Salah Decides the Clash

Trabzonspor continued to attack after the opening goal, with Salah once again at the center of the action.

In the 39th minute, he created the second goal for Saviolo with an excellent pass, allowing his teammate to finish the move and double Trabzonspor’s advantage.

Salah was not finished.

Just before the end of the first half, he scored again in the 44th minute to give Trabzonspor a comfortable 3-0 lead going into the break.

Galatasaray tried to respond after halftime, but Trabzonspor stayed in control and kept their opponents away from a comeback.

Then, in the 80th minute, Salah completed his remarkable night by scoring his third goal of the match and Trabzonspor’s fourth.

It was his first hat-trick for the Turkish club and completed a dominant performance from the home side.

Galatasaray’s difficult night became even worse in the closing stages when Lesley Ugochukwu was shown a straight red card in the 87th minute following a strong challenge.
