Super Eagles striker Akor Adams marked his first goals for Sevilla FC with a brace in a 4–2 pre-season win over Schalke 04 in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday, 26 July 2025. The Nigerian forward opened the scoring in the 4th minute and doubled his tally in the 33rd, showcasing his aerial prowess and clinical finishing.
Despite Schalke’s financial struggles and relegation battles in recent years, they posed a challenge, with two goals coming from the penalty spot. However, Sevilla’s attacking depth prevailed, with Kelechi Iheanacho adding a header in the 67th minute and Marcao sealing the victory late on.
Editorial
We commend Akor Adams for his impressive performance, which not only boosts his confidence but also strengthens Sevilla’s attacking options ahead of the new season. We believe this display underscores the potential of Nigerian forwards in European leagues, highlighting their growing influence in top-tier football.
We note that Sevilla’s offensive strategy, blending rhythm and flair, is beginning to take shape under manager Matías Almeyda, with Adams playing a pivotal role. We feel that consistent performances like this will be crucial for Adams in securing a regular spot in both Sevilla’s lineup and the Super Eagles squad.
We remain optimistic that Adams’ early success will inspire other Nigerian talents to pursue opportunities in competitive European leagues.
