| Match Report |
Facing another emergency in a difficult April month, without both keepers, out injured, and with a very short bench, Olgiati ended up snatching at the free market two new players. One (Lowery) was a new face, while the other (Swanepoel) made his return to the Panorama after a 8 years absence. Olgiati also had to take a gamble with the keeper position, playing himself in goals and hoping that Old Parks never managed to tempt their luck. Unfortunately the gamble backfired spectacularly. After scoring the 1-0 with Ryan Smith, towards the end of the first half Olgiati let two soft goals, leaving the team trailing 2-1. It was time to make some bold changes. So after a chat with the team, Panorama moved an injured Brown in goals, and shifted to a more attacking minded 3-5-2. For the next 30 minutes Old Parks did not know what hit them. With 2 strikers (Swanepoel making his return, playing together with Egbers), Panorama shifted their line much higher the field, and Old Pakrs did not touched a ball for the rest of the game. With O'Sullivan out for another injury, Benites, Smith and Franz provided a solid display, playing the ball from the back and enganing the wide players (Olgiati and Goncalves) on the wings. This left a lot of space in the midfield for Davidson, Bailey, Smith (and then Rinshaw and Lowery) to provide the necessary backbone for launching the attacks. It was a site to behold. Unlike last week when Panorama showed heart and discipline, the free flowing football played at Old Parks displayed a new way of playing against team that were happy to simply sit and counter attack. The 2-2 was scored by Goncalved, finally in the mood, with a header after his first shot was saved by the keeper. The 3-2 came courtesy of a free kick by Bailey. Olgiati scored the 4-2 with a precise shot from a run on the right, while Swanepoel returned to score for Panorama after almost 10 years with a header from a great cross by Goncalves. There was time for more. Goncalves scored his second of the night, and Olgiati smashed a header from Franz's corner kick. To top ip up, Sweanepol scored his second of the night with a precise shot inside the area. The seven goals scored in the second half were a new record for Panorama, continuing to strive in difficult conditions. Some stats form the night
