Swansea 1-2 Cheltenham
League One new-boys Cheltenham stunned a defensively weak Swansea with two early second-half goals.
Swans debutant Thomas Butler hit the post in an uneventful first half.
Kayode Odejayi took a cross on his chest and struck a right-footer past Willy Gueret, before the keeper and Kevin Amankwaah slipped up again.
They could not clear Stephen Guinan's cross, allowing Grant McCann to nip in. Leon Knight pulled back a superb diving header, but missed with a late chance.
