Venezia striker Akor Adams produced a decisive performance on his competitive debut, scoring twice and providing an assist to inspire a 3-2 victory over Modena in the Coppa Italia on Saturday night. Adams, who joined the Italian club from Sevilla during the current summer window, made an immediate impact by playing a key role in all three of Venezia’s goals as they secured their place in the next round of the competition. The Nigerian international equalized for Venezia after Giuseppe Ambrosino had given Modena the lead, calmly finishing to restore parity during the first half. The former Sevilla striker continued his impressive display after the break as Ambrosino struck again to restore Modena’s advantage. Adams then played a decisive role in Venezia’s comeback, providing an assist for John Yeboah to level the scoreline with seven minutes remaining. Just two minutes later, Adams completed the turnaround with a tremendous strike to give Venezia a 3-2 lead and secure their progression to the next round of the tournament. Following his impressive competitive debut, Adams will be delighted with his contribution and will be keen to build on his performance as he looks to establish himself as a key figure for Venezia during the new campaign.
