Super Eagles striker Akor Adams made an impressive return from Africa Cup of Nations duty on Monday, scoring twice off the bench to rescue Sevilla in a thrilling 2–2 La Liga draw against Elche. Adams, who helped Nigeria to a bronze medal at AFCON 2025, was introduced at halftime with Sevilla trailing. He pulled a goal back in the second half — the club’s first competitive strike in five matches — and then converted a stoppage-time penalty to level the score and end Sevilla’s four-game winless run in all competitions.
