Mohamed Salah scored his first goals for Trabzonspor with a brace in their 2-1 win over Istanbul Basaksehir.<\/p>\n
The former Liverpool forward joined the Super Lig side on a two-year deal at the start of August and made his debut for the club from the bench in their 1-1 draw at Kasimpasa last week.<\/p>\n
Salah was named in the starting line-up for Sunday\u2019s clash with Basaksehir and made an instant impact, opening the scoring in the eighth minute.<\/p>\n
Basaksehir levelled in the 19th minute when Eldor Shomurodov slotted home from the penalty spot, but Salah restored his side\u2019s lead just three minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n
His brace was enough to clinch victory for Trabzonspor, who return to Super Lig action on August 31 against Amed SK.<\/p>\n
Juventus secured a 1-0 away win against newly promoted Frosinone, but failed to impress on Sunday in their opening match of the Serie A season.<\/p>\n
Juve, who finished sixth last season, secured all three points thanks to Gleison Bremer\u2019s 22nd-minute header. Luciano Spalletti\u2019s side went on to dominate but failed to put the game beyond doubt.<\/p>\n
Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, on loan from Tottenham, picked up a leg injury and had to be substituted late on, which nearly cost Juve as Frosinone pressed hard in stoppage time, hitting the crossbar.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane was voted the 2026 player of the year in Germany by an association of sports journalists on Sunday, finishing ahead of teammate Michael Olise. Kicker magazine revealed the results of its yearly polls of members of the Association of German Sports Journalists.<\/p>\n
Kane, the England captain, won the award after a stellar season in which he won the Bundesliga and German Cup while Bayern also reached the Champions League semi-finals. The 33-year-old scored 61 goals for the club last season in all competitions. He then scored six goals as England reached the World Cup semi-finals before losing to Argentina. On Saturday he featured in Bayern\u2019s 2-1 German Super Cup victory over Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n
Bayern\u2019s Vincent Kompany was named coach of the year, while their women\u2019s captain Giulia Gwinn won the award for best female player.<\/p>\n
The 695 members of the journalists\u2019 association vote on the award, with Bundesliga players and German footballers playing abroad eligible for the playing honours. Kane, 33, is the first Englishman to win the award while Olise also finished second in 2025, behind Florian Wirtz.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost impossible to find the right superlatives to describe Harry Kane \u2013 sometimes I\u2019m at a loss for words,\u201d Bayern sporting director, Max Eberl, said in a statement. \u201cHe\u2019s already been named England\u2019s Footballer of the Year, and now he\u2019s also won it in Germany.\u201d<\/p>\n
The England captain is among the favourites for the Ballon d\u2019Or, which will be handed out in London in October.<\/p>\n
Gwinn, who shared the women\u2019s award last year with Ann-Katrin Berger, ensured more joy for Bayern as she finished clear of teammate ahead of her teammate Klara B\u00fchl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mohamed Salah scored his first goals for Trabzonspor with a brace in their 2-1 win over Istanbul Basaksehir.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":865838,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-865837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/865837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=865837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/865837\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/865838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=865837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=865837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=865837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
