Striker Caleb Ekuban scored the only goal as Trabzonspor pocketed the points in the win over Erzurum BB in the Turkish top-flight on Sunday.
The Ghana international returned to the club late after playing in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sudan but was fit to start the match.
Ekuban toe-poked a loose ball from inside the box in the 23rd minute at the Senol Gunes Akyazi Stadyumu.
It was first league goal of the season in four league appearances.
