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

Dive into Ladbrokes' 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.

Well, what a cracking draw at The Valley! Charlton Athletic and Swansea City battled it out to a 1-1 stalemate, a result that might not surprise many given their recent form. The Addicks, coming off a solid run with two wins and a draw in their last four, showed resilience at home. Meanwhile, Swansea, who had a mixed bag of results, managed to nick a point on the road, ending their streak of inconsistent performances. Both teams had moments of brilliance, but it was the timely goals from each side that kept the score level, leaving fans with plenty to chew over.

The game was a real test of character for both sides. Charlton, sitting comfortably in the top half of the table, would have been hoping to extend their winning run at home, but Swansea's dogged determination paid off. Adam Idah's goal for the Swans was a crucial moment, showing their ability to strike when it counts. On the other hand, Charlton's equaliser right at the start of the second half kept them in the game, proving they're not to be underestimated. A fair result in the end, with both teams showing they can hold their own in this competitive league.

Looking at the stats, it's clear both teams had their moments. Swansea dominated possession with 58% compared to Charlton's 42%, which might suggest they had more control over the game. However, Charlton's efficiency in front of goal and their ability to capitalise on fewer opportunities kept them in the game. The Swans had more corners, with seven to Charlton's four, indicating they were pushing for a winner, but it wasn't to be.

The successful dribbles percentage also tells a story, with Swansea at 62% and Charlton at 50%. This shows the Swans were more effective in moving the ball forward, but Charlton's defensive solidity and quick transitions helped them secure a point. The stats paint a picture of a closely contested match, where both teams had their chances but ultimately settled for a draw.

The key moments in this match were the goals, and they couldn't have been more timely. Charlton struck first, right at the start of the second half in the 46th minute, setting the tone for a competitive half. This early goal in the second half was crucial, as it gave them the momentum they needed to push for a win.

Swansea, however, responded well, with Adam Idah finding the net in the 64th minute. This goal was a real turning point, as it brought the Swans back into the game and showed their resilience on the road. Both goals were pivotal, and without them, the match might have had a very different outcome.

Charlton 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. Up top, Sonny Carey played just behind the strikers Charlie Kelman and Tyreece Campbell.

The lineup was fairly standard, but the impact of the substitutions was notable. Charlton made five changes throughout the game, showing their depth and tactical flexibility. The early second-half goal from one of their forwards was a testament to their attacking threat, and the team's performance overall was solid, if not spectacular.

Swansea opted for a 5-4-1 formation, with Lawrence Vigouroux between the sticks and a back five of Josh Key, Ben Cabango, Kaelan Casey, Cameron Burgess, and Josh Tymon. The midfield was controlled by Ronald and Gonçalo Franco, with Ethan Stuart William Galbraith and Ji-sung Eom providing support. Adam Idah led the line as the lone striker.

The lineup was a bit of a surprise, with the emphasis on defence, but it paid off with a crucial away point. The three substitutions made by Swansea were less than Charlton's, but they were effective, especially with Idah's goal. The team's performance was a good blend of defensive solidity and attacking intent, making them a tough nut to crack.

Adam Idah takes home the Ladbrokes' Man of the Match award, and rightly so. His goal in the 64th minute was the difference for Swansea, showing his ability to find the back of the net when it mattered most. With one goal, no assists, and two key passes, Idah's contribution was vital in securing a point for the Swans. A well-deserved accolade for a player who stepped up when his team needed him.
