Match Report Once again Panorama couldn't keep the lead and ended up with a disappointing draw away to Randfontein. 
After dominating the early exchanges, Panorama found the lead with a cross by Olgiati converted by Thornton. Soon after though Randfontein scored with a shot from outside the area after not dearling properly in getting rid of the ball.

Panorama pushed again and, after Olgiati was fouled by their defender, Almeida unleashed a beautiful free kick that Robson, jumping higher than everyone else, converted by hitting the ball with his head just before the keeper coudl get in. 10 minutes later Thornton hit the bar from another cross by Almeida.

In the dying minutes of the first half, the referee made a mistake in not noticing a player 5 meters offside. Unfortunately the player tried a tentative shot that ended up in the top corner, surprising Thornton.

In the second half once again Panorama dominated, but it was not meant to be. Olgiati and Almeida delivered crossese after crosses, but both Veldon and Thornton were unlucky in the final touch.

While the result was disappointing, Panorama showed glimpses of the team of few months ago, an encouraging sign for the next few games left!
 
The Panorama Hospitality Top Hat index! 

Food at Randfontein is always a problem. A lot of rice and a dodgy curry/stew. This time the flavours were there, but the amount of bones found in each portion and the disappointing rice didn't do the dish any favour.

Score: 1 hat of our three
