Match Report Panorama bounced back from last week's defeat with an awesome performance against Lenasia.

Wiht plenty of players missing (including the two keepers), Olgiat started with the usual 4-5-1 and deployed Egbers up , while Liu was selected to start in goal as emergency goalkeeper.

The team started strong and Lenasia struggled with Panorama's play from the back, and in the space of 30 minutes the score was already 3-0 up. Egbers scored the 1-0 after a cross from Olgiati created mayhem in the area, and Almeida took care of the 2-0 with a trick shot from  just oustide the penalty box. Finally Bailey made it 3-0 with a powerful shot 25 meters out that suprised the keeper. Lenasia pulled one back, but just before half time Mdunge continued his incredible run by adding a fourth one with his usual "Sizwe shot" from the left from a tight angle.

In the second half Panorama took advantage of Lenasia trying desperately to find a way back, but in the space of few minutes Goncalves scored the 5-1 and then Olgiati hammered a goal from a perfect Mdunge pass for the 6-1. After a flurry of changes Lenasia tried to get some dignity back and pulled two goals before the returning Tuffney (who last played in 2021), chipped the keeper from 20 meters.

Overall another good performance from Panorama, returning on the top of the log after last week's defeat.
