Akor Adams Shines with a Brace as Montpellier Decisively Defeat Toulouse 3-0
On Ligue 1's Matchday 10, Montpellier showcased their dominance with an impressive 3-0 win over Toulouse. The star of the match was Akor Adams, who netted two goals in the 13th and 72nd minutes. Adding to Montpellier's tally was Joris Chotard, who found the back of the net in the 63rd minute.
The spotlight was on Akor Adams as he led Montpellier with a stellar performance, his brace being the highlight of the game.
Despite the scoreline, Toulouse showed signs of attacking intent. Frank Magri, in particular, was active in front of the goal, attempting five shots – a joint record for a Toulouse player in the French Ligue 1 this season. Moreover, Toulouse's attacking vigor was evident as they launched 16 shots at Montpellier's goal, marking their highest total in a single match for the 2023/2024 Ligue 1 season.
Meanwhile, for Montpellier, Téji Savanier continues to be a vital playmaker. With another assist in this match, he has now set up 4 goals this season, a tally unmatched by any other player in the league.
However, Toulouse's struggles persist. They have now gone three games without a victory in the French Ligue 1. The last time they endured a more extended winless patch was between 19th August 2023 and 24th September 2023, a five-game streak.
Akor Adams's contribution to Montpellier this season has been invaluable. With the two goals he netted against Toulouse, he has now amassed a total of 7 goals this season, outscoring all his teammates.
This victory is a testament to Montpellier's growing strength and ambition in the league, while Toulouse will need to regroup and find a way to turn their fortunes around.
