*7 hours ago

Cardiff City’s U18 side comfortably defeated Swansea City 3-0 in the PDL Cup at Landore Training Ground on Saturday.

A*Japhet Mpadi*double and*Joel Colwill*spot-kick earned the Bluebirds three points and a clean sweep of Group A.

The game got off to a tight start and no chances came until the 11th minute, when the clinical Bluebirds took the lead.*James Crole*broke along the right flank, before rounding*Ben Hughes*and cutting back for forward Mpadi to finish.

City hunted for a second and neared it 12 minutes later. Midfielder Colwill made a charging run along the right flank before playing the ball into the path of*Cian Ashford, who was denied by*Filip Lissah’s strong block.

After the interval, the visitors continued to look for the game’s next goal and similar to the beginning of the first-half, both defences stood resilient as no clear-cut opportunities arose until shortly after the hour mark.*Jake Dennis’ super stop kept*Iwan Morgan*out.

The game then opened up and Cardiff City doubled their advantage just two minutes later. The dangerous Mpadi pounced again, finishing beautifully past goalkeeper Hughes and earning a brace.

From the restart, the Bluebirds attacked once more and came close to a third.*Rhys Schwank*found forward Crole with a low cross, but he put the ball agonisingly over the crossbar.

City weren’t letting up and with 72 minutes on the clock, they were awarded a penalty. Colwill, who won it, stepped up and coolly slotted home to treble his team’s advantage.
