Aug 23 (Reuters) - Mohamed ⁠Salah opened his account in the Turkish Super ⁠Lig with a double as Trabzonspor beat ‌Istanbul Basaksehir 2-1 to clinch their first win of the season on Sunday.

Salah, who joined Trabzonspor on a free transfer after ​leaving Liverpool following a trophy-laden nine-year ⁠spell, also had two ⁠goals disallowed in a standout performance.

Making his first league ⁠start ‌after appearing as a substitute in Trabzonspor's season opener, Salah put his side ahead ⁠in the eighth minute, capitalising after Basaksehir ​goalkeeper Muhammed ‌Sengezer failed to hold onto the ball.

Basaksehir's Eldor ⁠Shomurodov equalised ​from the penalty spot in the 19th minute, but Salah restored Trabzonspor's lead three minutes into the second ⁠half, bursting down the right, exchanging ​passes with Ernest Muci and slotting the ball into the far corner.

The 34-year-old winger had a stoppage-time effort ⁠chalked off for a foul in the build-up and another ruled out for offside when he found the empty net from long range with the ​goalkeeper up-field for a corner.

He will ⁠now turn his attention to Thursday's Europa League playoffsecond ​leg away to Ferencvaros after ‌his side suffered a 1-0 ​home defeat in the first leg.
