REDHOT: Akor Adams Opens Ligue 1 Season’s Account Against Nantes, Exchanges shirt with Moses Simon
Sensational Nigerian striker Akor Adams opened his Ligue 1 season account with a goal against Nantes in a 1-3 defeat for Montpellier. Adams was on target in the 30th minute, converting an equalizer for his side after Matthis Abline had given Nantes the lead.

Despite the loss, Adams’ performance was a bright spot for Montpellier, as the Nigerian forward continues to make his mark in the French top flight. His ability to score against tough opponents like Nantes highlights his potential to be a key player for Montpellier throughout the season.
It was mixed emotions at the end of the game, as Moses Simon and Akor exchanged jerseys at the end of the game.
