Ex-Liverpool star Mohamed Salah made his competitive debut for Trabzonspor on Saturday, coming off the bench in their Turkish Super Lig opener as Kasimpasa rallied from a goal down to secure a 1-1 draw. Trabzonspor took the lead in the first half through Noah Saviolo before Kasimpasa’s Adrian Benedyczak levelled from the penalty spot in the second half. Salah, who joined Trabzonspor on a free transfer after nine seasons at Liverpool, was introduced in the 58th minute shortly after Kasimpasa scored the equaliser.
The Egypt forward, deployed on the right wing, helped create a number of openings for the visitors but Trabzonspor were unable to find a winner. Trabzonspor, seven-time Turkish champions, finished third in the Super Lig last season and won the Turkish Cup. Earlier this month, Salah, 34, signed a two-year contract with Trabzonspor, shortly after guiding Egypt to a historic last-16 run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Widely known as the “Egyptian King” among his fans, Salah established himself as a Premier League great with Liverpool, winning two league titles and the Champions League among eight major honours at the Anfield club. The forward is considered among the greatest players of all time and the best from the African continent in recent years.
