CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte Independence welcomed a sellout crowd to Ramblewood Stadium on Wednesday night, and the Premier League’s Swansea City A.F.C. put on a tremendous display for those on hand as it took a 4-0 victory in the Independence’s first international exhibition in club history.

The Independence threatened first though Brian Brown, as the Jamaican forward’s shot in the 18th minute was turned wide of the post by Swans goalkeeper Kristffer Nordfeldt. Henry Kalungi then forced a second save from the ensuing corner, while Zach Pfeffer also went close for the hosts as Nordfeldt was again called into action.

Swansea took the lead soon after, though, as Jack Cork stole possession from Independence midfielder Paul Clowes and found Oliver McBurnie. The young Swans striker curled home a finish from 25 yards that was out of the reach of Independence goalkeeper Cody Mizell.

Jorge Herrera had a chance to reply for the Independence before the halftime break, only for his shot to go over the crossbar and leave Swansea up 1-0 at the halftime break. After numerous substitutions, the Swans doubled their lead seven minutes into the second half when Leroy Fer found Angel Rangel wide on the right. The Spaniard’s cross to the far post found a late-arriving Wayne Routledge, who put home the finish.

Routledge almost struck again four minutes later, only for Mizell to get down well to deny the opportunity, but he would make it 3-0 with 17 minutes to go as he ran onto a pass by Modou Barrow, rounded the goalkeeper and finished despite pressure from a trailing defender.

Swansea wrapped up the win with nine minutes to go as Barrow sent a low cross through the penalty area. Routledge just missed out on making contact as he looked for his  hat trick,  but Kenji Gorre came in behind to put away the chance and wrap up the victory.

The Swans will complete their summer tour of the United States this Saturday when they visit the USL’s Richmond Kickers at City Stadium. Kickoff for the contest is set for 7 p.m. ET.
