Match Report January 2023 has been a demolishing job for Panorama. Three games, three wins, and 26 goals scored (a new record for a calendar month).

In a league were so far only Randburg are trying to keep the pace with Panorama, and with a team full of commitment and fighitng spirit, a promotion to league one is only a matter of weeks.

On wednesday's catch up game, Panorama started with the usual 4-5-1, which is nothing more than a disguised 3-4-3. With De Klerk pushing in the midfield, and the wings attacking the full backs, Panorama pinned Old Parks from the start in their half way. The current level of confidence in the team is showing but how over the months the build up for the goal changed. Instead of rapid counter attacks and taking advantage of the other team's mistake, Panorama has been building from the back, involving the whole team, and hammering the other teams with width and precision passing.

The first goal was probably the best example of that. After a series of intricated passed, the ball ended at Olgiati's feet in the area, and instead of trying to shoot from a tight spot, he found Bailey who converted with a precise shot just outside the area. Continuing the increrible run of form, the trio of Goncalved, Lindsay and Bailey dominated the midfield and involved the wings, running into spaces and getting read to delivery crosses and scoring. Soon Bailey added another one, and Lindsay once again scored a hat trick in less than 25 minutes.

With the score set at 5-0 in the first half, in the second half Panorama relaxed a little too much, before the final 20 minutes added 4 more goal to the scoresheet. Miles converted a precise pass by Olgiati, and then Sizwe and Ho Lam combined for 2 goals, with Sizwe providing the running and crossing, and Ho Lam getting there at the right moment to score his first and second goal for Panorama.

There was more glory at thend when Miles assisted with a beautiful corner for Sizwe on the close post.

Overall another gigantic performance for Panorama.
