Nigerian forward Akor Adams scored a late goal, while Chidera Ejuke provided an assist as Sevilla stunned Barcelona 4-1 in a dominant La Liga clash on Sunday.
Adams, who recently earned a call-up to Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin, sealed Sevilla’s emphatic win in the 98th minute, finishing coolly from Ejuke’s clever pass.
The strike marked Adams’ second goal in six appearances for the Andalusian club this season, further underlining his fine form since joining La Liga.
Ejuke, meanwhile, was instrumental throughout the encounter, registering his first assist in four appearances for Sevilla after a lively performance on the wing.
Sevilla raced into a 2–0 lead in the first half, leaving Barcelona struggling to respond. The Catalans briefly found hope through Pedri and Marcus Rashford, who combined to pull one back before halftime.
However, Barcelona’s second-half comeback hopes were dashed after Robert Lewandowski missed a crucial penalty. Sevilla capitalized on the miss, adding a third before Adams’ stoppage-time goal compounded the defending champions’ misery.
The win lifts Sevilla up the league standings and boosts confidence ahead of their next fixtures, while Adams and Ejuke’s standout displays will please both club and national team fans ahead of Nigeria’s crucial World Cup qualifiers.
