Swans Draw Opening Friendly 1-1

This was always going to be a tough test for the Swans and so it proved as they went behind early doors to a strike from Ibrahima Traore who opened the scoring in the 14th minute.

Garry Monk gave a first team debut to all four of his summer signings with Franck Tabanou and Andre Ayew both starting and Kristoffer Nordfeldt and Eder introduced into the action on the hour mark.

It was a full change of side for the Swans after sixty minutes which gives us the biggest indication yet of the strength in depth especially when you look at the quality of the side that came on at that point.

And it was that side that got the equaliser when Matt Grimes turned home a cross from Wayne Routledge to give the Swans a draw.

Next up for the Swans is 1860 Munich on Saturday before they return to the UK

Swansea City starting XI: Lukasz Fabianski, Kyle Naughton, Kyle Bartley, Ashley Williams (capt), Franck Tabanou, Jay Fulton, Ki Sung-Yueng, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Nathan Dyer, Andre Ayew, Bafe Gomis.

Subs (all came on after 60 minutes): Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Angel Rangel, Federico Fernandez, Stephen Kingsley, Neil Taylor, Jack Cork, Jonjo Shelvey, Matt Grimes, Wayne Routledge, Marvin Emnes, Eder
