Royals keeper ensures both sides remain winless
Reading had goalkeeper Adam Federici to thank as he ensured the Royals claimed a 0-0 draw at Swansea.
The Australia international saved a 24th-minute penalty from Mark Gower and produced a host more saves as the Royals escaped with a point.
But manager Brendan Rodgers will be concerned that his side are still waiting for their first league goal of the season, let alone their first win.
The early exchanges were feisty but chances were few and far between, with Scott Davies drilling a long-range shot just wide for the visitors and Andrea Orlandi having a free-kick blocked for the Swans.
Penalty save
The home side were handed a great chance to go ahead when Ryan Bertrand was penalised for handball but Gower - still to score in 45 appearances for the club - saw his spot-kick saved by Federici.
The resulting corner was deflected behind for another, from which Federici kept out Garry Monk's thumping header.
The Swans continued to press and Steven Dobbie linked up well with youngster Kerry Morgan but the Scotsman sent his shot wide, before Federici produced a fine save from another Dobbie effort.
Reading replaced Davies with Noel Hunt at the break and lined up in a more attacking 4-4-2 formation in the second half.
And it was the Royals who had the first sight of goal after the interval when Hal Robson-Kanu got past Nathan Dyer but blazed his shot high and wide.
Unsavoury
Robson-Kanu was involved moments later as the clash sparked into life with an unsavoury incident.
The young winger flew into a challenge on Dyer and both sets of players squared up to each other, with Swans pair Ashley Williams and Angel Rangel getting booked along with Reading's Kalifa Cisse.
Alan Tate and Orlandi were both off target for Swansea before Hunt flashed a header across the face of goal, and then Dobbie was wide of the target with a shot from just inside the box.
The Swans were continuing to press and Orlandi's long-range effort missed the target before Morgan fired just wide.
The Royals almost snatched all three points at the death when Liam Rosenior crossed for Hunt, only for Dorus de Vries to block his header before Jay Tabb fired wide, leaving both sides still searching for their first league win.
