Ammon News - Mohamed Salah made his competitive debut for Trabzonspor on Saturday, coming ​off the bench in their Turkish Super ‌Lig opener as Kasimpasa rallied from a goal down to secure a 1-1 draw.

Trabzonspor took the ​lead in the first half through Noah ​Saviolo before Kasimpasa's Adrian Benedyczak levelled from ⁠the penalty spot in the second half.

Salah, ​who joined Trabzonspor on a free transfer ​after nine seasons at Liverpool, was introduced in the 58th minute shortly after Kasimpasa scored the equaliser.

The Egypt ​forward, deployed on the right wing, helped ​create a number of openings for the visiting side ‌but ⁠Trabzonspor were unable to find a winner.

"It's a sad start today. It was a game we had to be victorious in, but ​we couldn't ​succeed. Thursday ⁠is really important, we play a match in Europe, and the ​opponent is far better than us," ​Trabzonspor ⁠coach Fatih Tekke said.

Trabzonspor, who finished third in the Super Lig last season and won the ⁠Turkish ​Cup, will face Hungarian ​side Ferencvaros in the Europa League play-off round on August ​20.
