Watch highlights from Swindon Town FC Community Foundation’s opening day at the Gothia Cup, The World Youth Cup.
Swindon’s two Under 12 sides got their Gothia Cup campaign off to an amazing start as they both won their opening matches.
In game one, Swindon Town Community Foundation Black won a 11-goal thriller against Kungsbacka IF 1.
Ollie Bradbury struck a superb hat-trick and was joined on the scoresheet by Finley Simpson, Zak Ballard and Evan Black.
Both teams had long spells of domination but it was Town who went in front early on before following the opener up with a quick-fire second.
The Swedish side then pulled one back before Town instantly hit back to regain their two-goal cushion.
Swindon then fell apart as they conceded three goals in five minutes to fall behind 4-3 to the Swedes.
Ollie Bradbury and Evan Black though were on target to hit back and send Town back in front before a deflected Zak Ballard free-kick secured victory for the Swindon side.
Kungsbacka replied once more but their fifth strike proved too little, too late for the Swedish side.
Game two saw Swindon Town Community Foundation Red win 4-2 against Kungsbacka IF 2.
Two goals apiece from Joe Beavis and Finley Osborn was enough to give Swindon their opening win of the tournament.
After a very evenly fought first half, Finley Osborn scored at the second attempt to give Swindon a 1-0 half-time lead.
Town though were caught cold in the second half as Kungsbacka quickly hit an equaliser.
Two outstanding free-kicks though from Joe Beavis fired Town back in front 3-1.
