He made history as the first Montpellier player to score twice on his Ligue 1 debut.
Montpellier fans thus voted him Man of the Match after his brace for their darling club at home against Le Havre on the opening day of the new season.
L’Equipe selected him in their prestigious Team of the Week with the weekend’s highest score of 8 out of 10.
Montpellier coach Michel Der Zakarian said Akor has proved he can score goals.
“Adams? When you are a goal scorer, you score and he has shown that he is capable of scoring,” he said.
