Charlton Athletic 1-1 Swansea City: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral's post-match review of Charlton Athletic 1-1 Swansea City in the Championship on Saturday, 01 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Charlton Athletic and Swansea City played out a 1-1 draw at The Valley, a result that reflects the competitive nature of their recent form. The Addicks, coming off a draw against Hull City and wins against Ipswich Town and Sheffield Wednesday, showed resilience but couldn't secure a win against Swansea. The Swans, who had a win against Norwich City in their last outing, managed to extend their unbeaten run to two games. The draw was perhaps not surprising given both teams' recent performances, with neither side able to break the deadlock after the early goals.

In terms of standout performances, no single player dominated the match, but both teams showed good organisation and discipline. The result means Charlton Athletic maintain their solid mid-table position, while Swansea City continue to hover just above the relegation zone. This draw could be seen as a point gained for Swansea, given their position in the league, whereas Charlton might feel it was a missed opportunity to climb higher in the standings.

The statistics from the match show Swansea City had more possession with 58% compared to Charlton's 42%, which aligns with their slightly more dominant performance on the day. Swansea also had more corners, with seven to Charlton's four, indicating more pressure in the attacking third. The successful dribbles percentage was higher for Swansea at 62% compared to Charlton's 50%, suggesting they were more effective in moving the ball forward. Despite these figures, the game ended in a draw, which might suggest that Charlton were more clinical in their limited opportunities.

The number of substitutions made by Charlton (five) compared to Swansea's three could indicate a more tactical approach from the home side to try and change the game's momentum. However, the equal number of assists (1.0 for each team) shows that both sides had moments of quality in their play, contributing to the final scoreline.

The key moment for Charlton Athletic came right at the start of the second half, with a goal scored in the 46th minute. This early strike in the second half gave them the lead and set the tone for a competitive second period. The goal was crucial in keeping the game alive and forcing Swansea to push for an equaliser.

Swansea City's key moment was their goal in the 64th minute, which levelled the score and ensured they left The Valley with a point. This goal was significant as it came after a period of pressure from Swansea, showing their persistence paid off. The equaliser shifted the momentum back towards the visitors, leading to a tense final half-hour where both teams sought a winner.

Charlton Athletic lined up in a 3-4-1-2 formation, with Thomas Kaminski in goal and a back three of Reece Burke, Lloyd Jones, and Macaulay Gillesphey. The midfield was anchored by Conor Coventry and Greg Docherty, with James Bree and Amari'i Bell providing width. Sonny Carey played just behind the strikers Charlie Kelman and Tyreece Campbell. The lineup was fairly standard, with no major surprises.

The impact of substitutions was notable, with Charlton making five changes throughout the game. This suggests manager Nathan Jones was looking to alter the game's flow and perhaps inject fresh legs to chase a winner. The early second-half goal from the starting lineup was a highlight, but the substitutions did not ultimately change the result.

Swansea City opted for a 5-4-1 formation, with Lawrence Vigouroux in goal and a back five of Josh Key, Ben Cabango, Kaelan Casey, Cameron Burgess, and Josh Tymon. The midfield was made up of Ronald, Gonçalo Franco, Ethan Stuart William Galbraith, and Ji-sung Eom, with Adam Idah leading the line as the lone striker. The formation was a solid choice, offering defensive stability and the ability to counter-attack.

The lineup saw no major surprises, and the three substitutions made by manager Russell Martin were likely aimed at maintaining the team's shape and energy levels. Adam Idah's goal in the 64th minute was a standout moment, showing his importance to the team's attacking efforts. The formation and lineup worked well to secure a point away from home.

Adam Idah is Coral's Man of the Match for his performance against Charlton Athletic. His goal in the 64th minute was crucial in securing a point for Swansea City, demonstrating his ability to make a significant impact on the game. With two key passes, Idah also showed his involvement in the team's attacking play, making him a deserving recipient of the award.
