Franco on target as Swansea draw with FK Vardar
- Published
Swansea City came from behind to draw 1-1 with FK Vardar of North Macedonia in their penultimate pre-season fixture.
An experimental starting 11 featuring predominantly academy players including Evan Watts, Filip Lissah and Cameron Congreve fell behind to Djibril Dianessy's goal in the 22nd minute in Friedberg.
But summer signing Goncalo Franco levelled proceedings 16 minutes into the second-half.
Shortly after the Portuguese midfielder's effort, Williams changed his entire 11, bringing on a raft of first team players including club captain Matt Grimes, Jay Fulton, Harry Darling and Ben Cabango.
The Swans conclude their pre-season schedule with a home friendly against Portuguese side Rio Ave on Saturday, 3 August.
Williams' side take on Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium in their 2024-25 Championship opener a week later.
