Mohamed Salah’s night against Galatasaray was not just a match in which the Egyptian star shone, but a night in which he entered the history of the Turkish league through its widest doors
Salah led Trabzonspor to a resounding 4-0 victory over the defending champions last Saturday, after scoring three goals and creating the fourth, thus having a direct impact on all of his team’s goals during the summit clash held on Saturday as part of the sixth round of the Turkish League.
It is noteworthy that, according to the Turkish newspaper Fotomaç, Salah became the first player in Trabzonspor's history to score a hat-trick against Galatasaray at the team's stadium in the Turkish league.
He also became the first player since the 2014-2015 season to directly contribute to four goals in a single league match against Galatasaray.
His impact was not limited to numbers, as the first goal came after a run from midfield, while he completed his hat trick in the 80th minute after covering more than half the length of the field without any defender being able to stop him, specifically during the lightning counter-attack in which he covered a distance of 85 meters with the ball , according to a Reuters report.
The Turkish newspaper DHA pointed out that Salah played the most prominent role in the victory, as he directly contributed to all four goals, while Trabzonspor equaled its biggest victory over Galatasaray in its history with this win.
The impact of Saturday night was not limited to the match itself, as Salah raised his tally to 7 goals and 2 assists in six Turkish league games, according to Reuters and The National.
Thus, the player, who joined Trabzonspor this summer after nine years with Liverpool, quickly became one of the competition's biggest stars.
The match was also the first for German coach Thomas Reiss at the helm of Trabzonspor's technical staff, who in turn praised Salah after the match , but at the same time stressed the collective role in creating spaces for the Egyptian star.
Rice said: "We know Salah's quality and what he can do, and we know how dangerous he is when he has the ball, but the whole team fought incredibly hard to create those spaces for him."
