Match Report Panorama survived a hard game against Old Parks and stayed on top for another week.

With most of the strikers absent (Lindsay, Egbers, Swanapeol), Panorama saw the return of some players like De Klers and Brown (both missing since May). Franz (first game since June) and even Wills (first game since 2022, and the second in the last 4 years) to help with numbers.

After a strong start, Mdunge,  deployed as a striker, scored within few minutes for the 1-0 after a clever pass by Liu. Old Parks could not cope with the speed, and Panorama built well from the back in order to involve all the players and run around Old Parks. Unfortunately the only thing missing was a second goal, with numerous chances wasted during the first half.

Old Parks managed to get back and fight, but the midfield  managed to hold, and Brown, the 4th different player to play between in goal in this winter league, provided the necessary miracles to keep the ball away. Eventuallly, from a corner, Old Parks scored with a header, but Panorama reacted again when Liu found Mdunge who unleashed a 25 meters strike to score the 2-1.

Even after a rotation of player, Panorama somehow managed to keep Old Parks at bay and win the game.
