Super Eagles striker Akor Adams marked his return to club football in emphatic fashion on Monday night, scoring twice as Sevilla fought back to secure a 2-2 draw against Elche at the Manuel Martínez Valero Stadium.
Adams, who started the match on the bench, was introduced at the start of the second half in place of Gerard Fernández and went on to turn the game around for the visitors.
His impact silenced the home crowd as he struck twice within a dramatic 25-minute spell.
The Nigerian international pulled one back for Sevilla in the 75th minute, calmly beating Elche goalkeeper Iñaki Peña, who is on loan from Barcelona.
Deep into stoppage time, Adams completed his brace in style, dispatching a powerful penalty into the roof of the net in the second minute of stoppage time to restore parity.
The goals take Adams' La Liga tally to five goals and two assists in 15 league appearances this season, underlining his fine form following an impressive outing at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
At AFCON, Adams enjoyed a sensational tournament with Nigeria, scoring two goals and providing two assists in seven matches.
His performances were instrumental as the Super Eagles claimed the bronze medal, defeating Egypt 4-2 on penalties after a goalless draw in the third-place playoff.
This result moves Sevilla further away from the relegation zone as they continue their push for stability in the league after 20 matches.
