Trabzonspor Beat Hearts 2-0

Trabzonspor faced Hearts at home in the second round of the UEFA Conference League and won the match 2-0. The game drew attention as the team took the field without many players from its ideal squad, yet still established control over its opponent.

Mehmet Ayan noted that the reaction in the second half was welcome and that Dju's goal kept the game under control. According to Ayan, the players who came on as substitutes also showed the quality of the team.

İskender Günen, however, said he did not agree with changing many players. Günen stressed that the penalty won and the goal scored by Salah were decisive in the course of the match. He added that this victory is important for morale and provides data on squad depth.

Olcay Çakır wrote that the squad has widened and competition has increased. Çakır argued that the success achieved in Europe has value for the club and for Turkish football, and that suitable conditions have formed for the team's goal of reaching the top eight.
