Match Report Panorama continued their winning start of the season with a second win in 2 games. Only an unlucky calendar (Panorama didn't play 3 games for various reasons in the first 5 rounds), kept the team in the middle of the log.

Against a team they never played before, and on a beautiful night with finally no rain or load shedding, Panorama, with a bench full of fit players, started with 4-5-1, that soon become a 4-3-3, trying to keep GPMI in their own side. 

With Inward returning in goals, and with some unusual choices in the back 4 (Egbers pairing with O'Sullivan, and Goncalves in a gallivanting role on the left, with the usual Franz on the right), Panorama built from the back and pinned GPMI in thei own area in the opening 20 minutes. The central midfielers (Bailey, Almeida and Lindsay) easily dominated the opponent while Sizwe and Olgiati on the flanks took care of the attacking duties in supporting Swanepoel up front.

The first goal came from an awful clearance by the keeper, with Olgiati controlling a ball from just outside the area and smashing in the empty net. Swanepoel was then hacked in the area and converted the penalty for the 2-0.

GPMI offered very little, apart from some useless bickering and random acts of violence, and in the second half Panorama kept rotating players and still imposiing their will on the away team.

Bailey scored with a fantastic shot from distance, and after Lindsay, unlucky in his quest for goal, hit the post, Swanepoel pounced for the 4-0. The 5-0 was scored after a fantastic one-two in the area between Lindsay and Swanepoel, who completed his hat trick.

Panorama could have scored few more goals, but the score stayed 5-0.
