Super Eagles striker Akor Adams has given thanks to God on social media after reaching his 10th LaLiga goal of the season in dramatic fashion for Sevilla.
The Nigerian forward delivered another standout performance, scoring a brilliant match-winning goal as Sevilla completed a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Villarreal at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
Adams’ decisive strike not only secured a crucial win for the Andalusian side but also helped confirm the club’s safety in the Spanish top flight for another season.
The 26-year-old Benue-born attacker once again proved decisive under pressure, producing a stunning left-footed finish 18 minutes from time after Sevilla had battled back from a two-goal deficit in the opening stages of the encounter.
His latest goal also saw him reach an elite Nigerian milestone in LaLiga, underlining his impressive campaign in Spain and growing reputation as one of Sevilla’s most influential players this season.

The 26-year-old now joins respected Super Eagles legends such as Ikechukwu Uche and Finidi George on the elite list of Nigerians to reach that milestone in Spain’s top flight.
Despite the growing praise surrounding his performances, Adams chose to give glory to God after the match rather than focus on personal recognition.
Reacting on his official X account shortly after the final whistle, the Sevilla striker wrote: “Baba na you do this one,” expressing gratitude for his remarkable form and recent success.
He later shared another faith-inspired message on Instagram, posting: “For with God all things are possible for them that believe!”
Sevilla’s latest victory moved the club four points clear of the relegation zone with only two league matches remaining, completing a remarkable turnaround for Adams after struggling earlier in the season.
With the 2026 international window approaching, the in-form striker appears to be making a strong statement to the Super Eagles coaching crew ahead of future national team selections.
