Mohamed Salah continued his impressive start with Trabzonspor after scoring his team’s only goal against Amedspor in the third round of the Turkish league.
The Egyptian forward opened the scoring after a quick counterattack, finishing the move with a shot into the net following an assist from Albanian midfielder Ernest Muçi.
While some reports listed the goal as coming in the 10th minute and others in the 11th, Salah needed to score exactly in the ninth minute to complete a rare historic achievement.
Salah Was One Minute Away From a Historic Milestone
Had Salah scored in the ninth minute, he would have joined a rare group of elite forwards who have scored in every minute of a football match throughout their careers.
The achievement refers to scoring at least one goal in every individual minute from the first through the 90th minute across a player’s career.
The ninth minute remains the only minute in which Salah has yet to score, meaning he came just one minute away from completing the remarkable record against Amedspor.
Strong Start for Salah at Trabzonspor
The goal against Amedspor was Salah’s third goal in the Turkish league this season.
He had previously scored twice against Başakşehir in the previous round, giving him an impressive scoring record during the opening matches of his Trabzonspor spell.
Salah has quickly become one of Trabzonspor’s most important attacking players, making an immediate impact through both his goalscoring and creativity.
Salah’s Goal Could Not Save Trabzonspor
Despite Salah giving Trabzonspor an early lead, his team could not hold on to the advantage.
Amedspor equalized before halftime before scoring the winning goal late in the match to secure a 2-1 victory.
The result handed Trabzonspor its first defeat of the Turkish league season.
Salah also came close to scoring a second goal in the 82nd minute when he fired from inside the penalty area, but the Amedspor defense managed to clear the attempt.
A few minutes later, the hosts scored the decisive goal, leaving Trabzonspor empty-handed despite Salah’s early contribution.
Salah Continues to Impress
Despite the defeat, Mohamed Salah maintained his strong attacking form with Trabzonspor, scoring three goals in his first three Turkish league appearances.
The historic scoring record remains within reach, with the ninth minute now standing as the only missing minute in his career-long scoring record.
