Charlton were comfortable 2-0 victors against Swindon at the County Ground tonight and go forward to the 2nd round of the Carling Cup.
The Addicks had looked in control from the start of the match. Chris Powell turned provider for Marcus Bent, but the striker unselfishly cushioned the ball and laid it off to Darren Ambrose to make it 1-0.
The second goal came on 64 minutes. Andy Reid burst through and McLeod was brought down. The referee pointed to the penalty spot and Reid slotted it into the net, but the referee insisted that it be taken again for encroachment. Reid sent the ball to the same side as before, but managed to get it past the keeper to make it 2-0.
Swindon didn't give up, but it was really automatic pilot for the Addicks from then on. The competition itself is not important to Charlton, but winning tonight was.
