— Sevilla FC (@SevillaFC_ENG) September 28, 2025The match was tense and evenly contested, with Rayo dominating possession and creating more chances. Despite their pressure, Sevilla’s defense stood firm, backed by an inspired performance from goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos, who pulled off several key saves to keep the hosts at bay.
As the game wore on, both managers looked to their benches for inspiration. Sevilla found theirs when substitute José Ángel Carmona combined with Alexis Sánchez, delivering a pinpoint cross for Adams. The Nigerian striker wasted no time, slamming home his side’s only shot on target in emphatic fashion.
Rayo pushed hard for an equalizer, with Sergio Camello coming close in stoppage time, but Sevilla held firm to seal a hard-fought victory. The result also extended their unbeaten head-to-head run against Rayo to six matches (three wins, three draws).
For Adams, this goal is more than just a personal milestone. It strengthens his case for inclusion in the Super Eagles squad ahead of Nigeria’s upcoming must-win World Cup qualifier, where his form and sharpness could prove vital for the national team.
