Akor Adams delivered his best performance of the season to power Montpellier SC to a thrilling 3-2 victory at home to Auxerre in their Ligue 1 clash on Sunday, Soccernet.ng reports.
Montpellier had failed to win any of their first six league games of the 2024/25 season but Adams contributed two well-taken goals to turn the club’s fortunes around.
It looked like it was going to be another poor afternoon for Montpellier as Auxerre led for well over an hour courtesy of Hamed Traorè’s 18th-minute strike.
However, Akor drew the hosts level in the 65th minute when his close-range header from a Téji Savanier cross nestled into the bottom left corner.
More drama followed as in two second-half minutes, Montpellier’s Modibo Sagnan and Auxerre’s Ado Onaiwu traded goals to leave the scoreboard reading two-all.
However, Adams swung the tie in Montpellier’s favour in the 75th minute when he put the finishing touch to a lightning-quick counter-attacking move.
