Swindon took the lead after 35 minutes with a header from Blair Sturrock from a Zaaboub cross to give Swindon their first ever league goal against Cheltenham to make it 1-0.
Sturrock came close again, but it was 1-0 to Swindon going into the half time break.
In the second half Swindon again did well, but had a penalty appeal turned down when Roberts went down in the box. In the first half Cheltenham also had a penalty appeal rejected, and their player was booked for diving.
Cheltenham equalised on 72 minutes with a 25 yard shot from Ashley Vincent who had just come on as a sub. His shot left Phil Smith with no chance of saving it.
Miguel Comminges came close for Swindon, but his shot was well saved by the Cheltenham 'keeper. Swindon came close a few more times, but ran out of time.
Overall it was a good game with Swindon having plenty of the ball, and plenty of shots on goal. A draw was a fair result, although Swindon really did deserve to win. The Cheltenham manager after the game commented that a 3-3 draw would have been a better reflection of the game.
