Mohamed Salah made his Trabzonspor debut in a 1-1 draw with Kasimpasa in the Turkish Super Lig.

The former Liverpool winger came off the bench, but could not help clinch three points for the visitors after Adrian Benedyczak's penalty cancelled out Noah Saviolo's opener at Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadyumu.

It was a quiet first half in the opening league game of the season for both sides, but Trabzonspor managed to take the lead on the stroke of half-time as Saviolo volleyed in at the near post from Metehan Mimaroglu's deep cross.

However, Kasimpasa equalised just 10 minutes into the second half after Guven Yalcin was brought down by Wagner Pina in the box, and Benedyczak buried his penalty into the bottom-left corner against Andre Onana.

Salah's introduction came in the 58th minute, and he almost provided an assist shortly after the hour mark, but his free-kick was headed wide of the target by Paul Onuachu.

Mustafa Eskihellac saw an attempt blocked in stoppage time for Trabzonspor before Claudio Winck failed to test Onana with a strike from distance as the points were shared.

Salah impresses in debut cameo

Although Kasimpasa won the expected goals (xG) battle 1.70 to 0.79, the home side's figure was inflated by Benedyczak's penalty in what was an evenly fought contest.

Salah almost made a desired impact on debut, and even though he failed to score or assist, the Egypt international still impressed for Fatih Tekke's side in the closing stages of the match.

The 34-year-old accumulated the most xG (0.19) for his side, despite only taking two shots, while he also created the second-most chances (two), completed the joint-most dribbles (three) and recorded the most crosses (seven).

Trabzonspor host Istanbul Basaksehir in their next league game, but Salah could make his home debut on Thursday when they face Ferencvaros in a Europa League qualifier.
