Swans Win Opening Match - Reaction And Pictures
The Swans are underway in pre-season and have their first win under their belt thanks to goals from Ki and Pablo Hernanez which secured a 2-0 win for the Swans out in Holland.
KI bagged his first goal for the Swans just before half time when he tapped home after Nathan Dyer's effort hit the post whilst Pablo was on target in the second half after being sent through by new signing Pozuelo
In truth this was a relatively easy work out for the Swans to start their tour but a win is a win and with the Swans giving game time to many of their new players it is exactly the kind of start they would have imagined.
SWANS (first half): Gerhard Tremmel, Jazz Richards, Chico Flores, Ashley Williams (capt), Neil Taylor, Leon Britton, Ki Sung-Yueng, Alejandro Pozuelo, Nathan Dyer, Wayne Routledge, Rory Donnelly.
SWANS (second half): Gregor Zabret, Angel Rangel, Garry Monk (capt), Jordi Amat, Ben Davies, Jose Canas, Jonjo Shelvey, Kenji Gorre, Pablo Hernandez, Roland Lamah, Rory Donnelly (Alejandro Pozuelo, 76).
