Akor Adams put on a show in his debut game for Montpellier but his heroics was not enough to earn them all three points in the Ligue 1.
Nigerian forward Akor Adams and his new club Montpellier were denied all three points in their Ligue 1 opener.
Montpellier were held at home by Le Havre following an impressive four-goal thriller at Stade de la Mosson-Mondial on Sunday.
The home side came from behind before they were forced to a share of the spoils after a 2-2 draw.
Adams at Montpellier
The 23-year-old is a new arrival at the Ligue 1 after he swapped Norway for France.
Montpellier announced the signing of the former Flying Eagles star from Norwegian side Lillestrom for a fee of four million euros.
He caught the eyes of the French side after a remarkable 2022/2023 campaign that saw him net 17 goals in 18 matches.
Akor announces arrival in style
Just a week after he joined the club, the young Nigeria forward has now announced himself in Ligue 1 in style.
Akor was in superb shape as Montpellier came from behind to earn a share of the spoils.
After a goalless start to the game which saw the visitors lead 1-0 at the break, it was the Nigerian who turned things around for the hosts.
His two goals in two second-half minutes saw Montpellier turn things around to lead 2-1 on the hour mark.
However, Le Havre stole one point thanks to a late goal from Samuel Grandir.
