Mohamed Salah’s strike earns Trabzonspor the Trendyol Super Lig’s top goal prize

Mohamed Salah has been awarded the best goal of the second round of the Trendyol Super Lig after his second goal helped Trabzonspor beat Istanbul Basaksehir 2-1.

The Egyptian forward produced a decisive performance against Istanbul Basaksehir on Sunday, scoring both of Trabzonspor’s goals as his side secured their first win of the campaign.

The league announced the result on its X account, posting: “The best goal of the round belongs to Salah.”

It said the award had been decided by supporters through polls published on the competition’s social media accounts. The winning goal was Salah’s second of the match, scored in the 48th minute.

The goal completed Trabzonspor’s recovery after Istanbul Basaksehir had cancelled out the visitors’ early advantage. Salah opened the scoring in the 10th minute before the opposition equalised from the penalty spot nine minutes later.

His second goal then restored Trabzonspor’s lead shortly after half-time, securing a 2-1 victory and earning him recognition in the league’s vote for the finest strike of the second round.

The official social media post announcing the award was accompanied by the message:

“Ikinci haftanın golu belli oldu! | Mohamed Salah 🌟

Trendyol Super Lig’in ikinci haftasının en guzel golu, sosyal medya hesaplarımızda yer alan anketlere verdiginiz oylarla belli oldu. 🗳️

The result leaves Trabzonspor fourth in the Trendyol Super Lig table with four points after two matches.

Salah’s goals against Istanbul Basaksehir followed Trabzonspor’s opening result of the season and provided the club with an important early victory. His two-goal contribution also ensured that his second effort became the focus of the league’s supporters’ poll.

The goal award was announced through a vote conducted on the competition’s official social media channels, rather than being selected solely by a judging panel. Supporters were invited to choose from the goals nominated for the second round, with Salah’s effort receiving the accolade.

The original report also included information inviting readers to purchase tickets for Trabzonspor’s league matches, as well as an invitation to discuss the story and other football news in the Kooora forums.
