Trabzonspor vs Istanbul Basaksehir

Trabzonspor made home advantage count with a 2-1 win over Basaksehir, powered by a Mohamed Salah double that extended the hosts' unbeaten run against this opponent to eight straight meetings. Salah opened the scoring in the 10th minute, pouncing after a fumble from Basaksehir goalkeeper Muhammed. Basaksehir hit back almost immediately, with Eldor Shomurodov converting from the penalty spot around the 18th minute after a VAR review flagged a handball. Salah restored the lead just after the break, finishing from the right diagonal in the 48th minute off a Ernest Muçi assist. He was booked late for simulation and even had a stoppage-time strike ruled out for offside, but it didn't matter. The result nudges Trabzonspor to 4 points and offers a timely confidence boost ahead of their European return leg against Ferencváros, while Basaksehir stay on 3 points and will need to tighten up defensively after conceding twice to the same man.
