Match Report Panorama produced a spectacular performance away to one of the trickiest fields to play, winning against Lenasia with their biggest margin over their first game back in 2016.

Olgiati started with a solid 4-5-1, shifting Bailey with Benites and the back, in order to keep a strong pairing after Egbers and O'Sullivan were both deemed unavailable. With Inward shouting orders from the back, there was no way Franz and Neale wouldn't step up and control the tricky Lenasia wingers.

In the middle, with Olgiati on the right and Sizwe on the left, Panorama played the Marcos (Almeida and Goncalves) with a Lindsay free to roam and destroy in the middle of the park. Swanepoel provided excellent linkage with the midfield and soon scored the first goal of the game within the first 10 minutes.

Lenasia couldn't cope with Panorama's passing, speed and precision, and by the time the half time was over, it was already 4-0. Lindsay, Bailey on a roll (from another free kick), and Lindsay again took care of the score.

In the second half Panorama started to rotate players and test them in different position (knowing that most of the players need to be capable of playing decently in at least 2 different positions), and after some sort of fight back from Lenasia, Panorama took control and scored two more goals, one with the unstoppable Sizwe and another one with the goal obsessed Swanepoel.  

Every player who came on the field from the bench added to team performance, with Panorama finally starting to click after a very hard year.

Goncalves, rotating in different roles during the game, provived an incredible 3 assists in one game.
