Match Report	After the 10-2 win against Crusaders in the catch up game last week, Panorama played them again only 7 days later in the first round of the return legs. Olgiati and his assistant Almeida organized the team with a 4-5-1 starting players that rested last week. So Imbriolo, Ho Lam, Brown, Smith and Swanepoel all had a chance to impress their coaches. From the start Panorama pressed the high and risky game that have been developing recently and they were soon rewarded with goals. Captain Bailey, who has decided that he will score only by taking free kicks (must be the 4th in a row), gave Panorama the lead,  and provided the assist from a great corner for De Klerk for the 2-0. Brown scored the 3-0 thanks to an assist by a rampant Smith, and before half-time Swanepoel converted a pass by De Klerk and opened his 2023 account. In the second half Crusaders tried to fight back, and after Mushore saved the team few times, eventually they managed to pull one back. Olgiati, after missing a sitter moments before, scored the 5-1 after a great run and pass by the omnipresent Bailey, with De Klerk adding another one to his stellar start of the season before Goncalves scored with another free kick. With 18 players having a chance to shine Panorama showed their intent for 2023, and stayed on top with Randburg, with an infinitely better goal difference and with one game in hand. Some stats from the game: This was the 2nd win in a row against Crusaders, after failing to win in the first 5 attempts. The last time Panorama won 6 in a row was in 2020 (when they won 12) Bailey played his 96th game, reaching De Leo in 13th overall position With his 3 assists, now Bailey sits at 4th overall position, just one behind Almeida
