Mohamed Salah strikes again as Trabzonspor move within three points of Galatasaray

Mohamed Salah scored again as Trabzonspor strengthened their challenge for the Turkish Super Lig title with a 2-0 victory away to Alanyaspor on Sunday.

The Egypt international scored his side’s second goal at Gain Park, helping Trabzonspor secure three points that moved them up to second in the table.

Trabzonspor made the stronger start and took the lead in the 17th minute. Wagner Pina finished the visitors’ early pressure by finding the net and giving his team control of the match.

The away side continued to attack after going ahead and doubled their advantage before half-time. Salah converted a decisive pass from team-mate Paul Onuachu in the 34th minute to complete the scoring.

The result takes Trabzonspor to 25 points from 11 matches, leaving them three points behind leaders Galatasaray, who have 28. Alanyaspor remain 13th with 12 points.

Salah’s goal was his 16th goal contribution in 16 appearances across all competitions this season. The 34-year-old has scored 11 times and supplied five assists for Trabzonspor.

His latest strike also moved him to nine goals in the Turkish Super Lig, level with Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen in the race for the Golden Boot.

Amedspor striker Gift Orban leads the scoring chart with 10 goals, one ahead of Salah and Osimhen.

The victory continues Salah’s influential start to the campaign and keeps Trabzonspor firmly involved in the race for the league title.
