Match Day Thread Richmond Kickers v Swansea City

Venue - City Stadium, Virginia
Kick off - 7pm (US time); midnight (UK time)

Andre Ayew started up front for his first appearance of the tour as manager Francesco Guidolin was set to give his full squad game-time for their second and final friendly on American soil.
Ayew missed the opening 4-0 win at Charlotte after arriving later than the main travelling party having been given extra time off due to his international commitments at the end of last season.
Kristoffer Nordfeldt started his second game in goal with Connor Roberts and Kyle Naughton at full-back. Jordi Amat and Federico Fernandez partnered in the heart of the defence.
Leroy Fer and Jay Fulton started in midfield with young Daniel James further forward. They were supported on the flanks by Wayne Routledge and Mo Barrow.
The Swans faced a Richmond side who play their football in the United Soccer League. They are among the oldest continuously operating soccer clubs in America, with a City Stadium capacity of 22,600, although this is restricted to 9,000 for soccer games.
Their head coach, Leigh Cowlishaw, was born in Burton upon Trent, but moved to America at 19 to play for Richmond University and then the Kickers.
However, they were without former Carmarthen Town striker and Swans trialist, Mathew Delicate, their all-time leading scorer, who was still recovering from a cancer scare.

Swans (first-half): Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Connor Roberts, Kyle Naughton, Jordi Amat, Federico Fernandez, Leroy Fer, Daniel James, Jay Fulton, Wayne Routledge, Modou Barrow, Andre Ayew.
Subs: Gerhard Tremmel, Stephen Kingsley, Angel Rangel, Joe Rodon, Mike van der Hoorn, Leon Britton, Jack Cork, Adam King, Kenji Gorre, Nathan Dyer, Ollie McBurnie.
