Salah's performance became a topic of debate in the match where Trabzonspor lost 1-0 to Ferencvaros at home in the UEFA Europa League playoff round. The star footballer, who failed to capitalize on two significant goal opportunities, divided the burgundy-blue fans. While some fans argued that Salah is still new and will reach his true performance as matches progress, others expressed the opinion that he is far from his former form.
One of Trabzonspor's first significant opportunities in the match came from Salah's foot. In the 8th minute, following goalkeeper Onana's long pass, Salah broke behind the defense and found himself one-on-one with goalkeeper Dibusz from the right diagonal. The star player's shot was denied by Dibusz, who did not allow a goal.
HE CAME CLOSE TO GOAL ONCE MORE IN THE SECOND HALF
Salah came very close to scoring once again in the 49th minute. The star player, who controlled the pass sent into the penalty area by Malinovsky, advanced to the left diagonal and shot towards the far corner, but the ball went just wide.
HE DIVIDED THE FANS INTO TWO
Following Trabzonspor's 1-0 defeat on the field, Salah's performance caused different opinions to emerge among the claret-blue fans.
Some fans argued that newly signed Salah is still in an adaptation process and that his performance will improve as he plays more matches. Other fans, however, stated that the star player displayed a form far from his former days and found his performance insufficient.
ATTENTION TURNS TO THE RETURN LEG
After the 1-0 defeat at home, Trabzonspor left its chances of advancing to the return leg in Hungary. The claret-blue team will take to the field for the match to be played on Thursday, August 27, in order to advance to the next round.
