| Match Report |
Another lucky defeat for Panorama, once again going back to having almost no replacements in a tough game on a cold and humid night. With Kennedy deployed deep in a 4-5-1, Panorama dominated the first 20 minutes, but couldn't find the goal, until, from a corner, Kennedy's header lobbed everyone was pushed on the line by Olgiati for the 1-0 but in the space fo 10 minutes Happy Deals scored 3 goals that killed the morale in the first half. It all started the referee incorrectly judged Neale's tackle to be worthy of a yellow card and sin-bin. From there Happy Deals scored the 1-1 thanks to an offside (by 5m) that the referee deemed valid, and then, with the team upset with the string of decisions going against them, lost their composure and let 2 quick goals on the counter attack. Panorama, with players getting tired, decided to switch and assigned Liu on man-marking Happy Deals' playmaker, and with him out of the way, Panorama started crawling back in. The team played a better football, the passing from the back with Garrard and O'sullivan to Lindsay and Bailey improved, and of a sudden there was a chance. Olgiati's half volley from inside the area after an excellent ball control was stopped by Happy Deal's defender with their hand. What followed was an excellent penalty kick by Lindsay and a yellow card. With Panorama pressing more and more, what was need was another quick goal that would have changed the tide of the game. Lowery and Kennedy had few good chances, and Garrard and Olgiati's headers missed the target by centimeteres. Unfortunately, since this is a cursed season, Panorama was punished by an incredible goal by Happy Deals. a volley from wide side of the area that left Inward with no chance. Panorama kept pressing, and Olgiati scored the 3-4 after collecting a beauitful pass from Lowery. They also had a chance to score the equalizer but Kennedy shot went wide. Overall another tough game for Panorama, who stays in the bottom 3, too far now from Highlands Park (8 points gap) for a safe staying in Division 1. WIth Crusaders and Lenasia all squeezed together at the bottom, the best Panorama can hope is for a playout in October. Some stats from the game:
