Adams sat at the top of the scorer’s chart after hitting three goals in his two matches for Montpellier.
However, at home to Reims, the visitors proved too good as they caged the Nigerian striker for 90 minutes.

Adams attempted four shots during the game but was unable to test the away goalkeeper for the duration of the match.
Reims revenge
Reims came to de la Mosson hoping to avenge the defeat they suffered at home the last time both teams met.
Inspired by Teddy Teuma, the visitors achieved their aim with a similar result.
Teuma scored two of the goals and assisted the opener as Reims gave Montpellier a taste of their poison with their fans watching.
