Super Eagles striker Akor Adams has emphasised that collective results are more important than individual goals after helping Sevilla FC secure a 1–0 La Liga victory at Getafe on Sunday. The Nigerian forward created the decisive moment with the assist for Djibril Sow’s match winning strike.
The win Sevilla’s first away success in weeks came in a tightly contested encounter at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, where Getafe were reduced to ten men before Sow’s 64th minute finish brought all three points.
Adams, who has not scored in his last four matches, underlined that contributing to team victories is his priority, even during a personal goal drought. He stressed that accumulating points and maintaining clean sheets must come before individual statistics.
Editorial
Akor Adams’ remarks after Sevilla’s win reflect a mature, team first mentality that every coach values. In a season where consistent results have been hard to come by for Los Nervionenses, it’s understandable that Adams would prioritise collective success over personal accolades. His assist highlights his influence even when goals haven’t flowed.
Sevilla’s victory was far from comfortable: despite a numerical advantage following a red card, the side struggled to create clear cut chances until Adams’ clever flick set up the winner. That kind of contribution creating decisive moments and helping secure crucial points can be as valuable as scoring itself.
For Nigerian fans, seeing a Super Eagles forward put team objectives first is encouraging and underscores the evolving mindset of players abroad. As Sevilla push to climb the La Liga table, Adams’ attitude and performances could prove pivotal in tight matches like this one.
