Match Report Once again Panorama made hard work to win, but somehow managed to get the full 3 points.

Robson started the team with a 4-5-1 in order to provide good cover to the defense and win the midfield battles. Randfontein's only game plan was to play long balls from the back, and hope in a mistake by Panorama's backline. But once again the backline and Inward didn't concede any chances, and the only reason the score was still 0-0 in the first half was due to the usual errors in the last 20 meters that have been plaguing Panorama for the last month or so, and the Randfontein's keeper being on fire.

But it was only a matter of time before Panorama finally broke the deadlock. Hart took another chance from 25 meters which was finally dealt badly by the keeper. Olgiati controlled the ball, and just before the keeper could recover flicked to Lindsay who scored another winning goal.

Overall was a solid performance from a team still trying to recapture some free-flowing and scoring football. But hey, a win is always a win.

Some stats from the game:

  • This was the 20th game between the two sides, with Panorama winning 15 of them, with 12 consecutive good results
  • Almeida played his 150th official game for Panorama (closing on Kelly at 153)
  • Olgiati's assist was his first since November 2019 (almost 700 days ago!)
  • Lindsay's 21st career goal put him at par with Wills
