On Saturday, Trabzonspor demolished Galatasaray 4‑0 in the Turkish Süper Lig, with Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah scoring a hat‑trick to lead the win.
Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen was absent from the match after failing to recover from injury. He had trained separately from the squad this week, sparking hopes that he might return for the fixture, but he did not feature in the lineup.
Salah opened the scoring after just four minutes, sprinting 80 metres from the halfway line to slot the ball past the keeper. He then set up a second goal when he delivered a pinpoint pass across the penalty area to Noah Saviolo, who finished a slick team move.
Just before the break, Salah netted his sixth league goal of the season to put Trabzonspor firmly in control. He completed his hat‑trick with ten minutes remaining, adding a third goal to the tally.
The match ended with Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk being sent off for a furious reaction to the proceedings, a decision that left the Turkish side unable to mount a comeback.
