Super Eagles striker Akor Adams made an immediate impact for Sevilla on Monday night, scoring twice to rescue a dramatic 2-2 draw against Elche in the Spanish LaLiga.
Fresh from international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the Nigerian forward wasted no time returning to club action, delivering an inspired performance after coming off the bench in the second half.
Adams was introduced to the game as a substitute for Gerard Fernández and quickly changed the momentum in favour of the visitors, who had been struggling to find a way back into the contest.
He opened his account in the 75th minute, finishing clinically to give Sevilla renewed hope. As the match appeared to be heading for defeat, Adams stepped up again in stoppage time.
