In the Süper Lig, Trabzonspor taught Gençlerbirliği a football lesson in their first match under interim manager Hüseyin Çimşir, who took charge following the departure of Fatih Tekke. Playing with massive support from their fans at home, the Burgundy-Blues turned a new page by leaving the pitch with a magnificent 5-0 victory. Starting the match like a storm, Trabzonspor opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a classy goal from Paul Onuachu. Just 5 minutes later, star player Salah calmly converted a penalty to make it 2-0. Trapping the opponent in their own half, the in-form striker Onuachu took the stage once again in the 35th minute to increase the gap to three. However, a shadow was cast over this brilliant performance in the 44th minute; unable to continue due to injury, Onuachu had to be replaced by Franculino.

Maintaining absolute control in the second half, the Black Sea storm made it 4-0 in the 59th minute with a stylish goal by Ernest Muci, assisted by Salah. The final word in the match was spoken by Franculino. Finding the net in the 78th minute, the talented player scored in his debut match in the Burgundy-Blue jersey, giving great hope to the fans. Tasting their first defeat in the league with this heavy blowout, Gençlerbirliği remained at 7 points, experiencing a major shock. Securing their first win under Hüseyin Çimşir with this dominant score, Trabzonspor increased their points to 7 and climbed to 4th place.
