Match Report

After last week's victory, Panorama traveled to the Corinthians ground, home of Joburg City, with renewed confidence. Despite missing several key players and forced to introduce two new faces, Baloyi and Barei, Panorama started with a 3-5-2 formation. The midfield was once again unconventional, featuring Garrard, Olgiati, and the returning midfield dynamo, Liu, who was back after a long injury spell.

With another returning player, Inward, Panorama began the match strongly, missing two excellent chances in the first five minutes before being punished with two quick goals. Lindsay, brilliantly set up by Inward, scored to make it 2-1, and Panorama ended the first half in high spirits.

In the second half, an early goal from Joburg City dampened the momentum, but Panorama still created opportunities to score. Unfortunately, their luck in front of goal was lacking, and Joburg City eventually scored a fourth goal, excessively punishing Panorama.

Overall, it was a disappointing defeat, but there were signs of improvement with the new formation. The lack of consistency in the starting eleven—only Lee, Ho Lam, Olgiati, and Lindsay played in the same positions as last week due to injuries—makes it challenging to find a steady rhythm.

Some stats from the game:

  • This was the 4th game against Joburg City, with Panorama still looking for a first win (D1, L3, -9 GD)
  • Panorama lost their 11th game this year, after 6 months, after losing 8 in the whole year in 2023. Only in 2017 (12) they lost more.
  • With already 36 different players used since the start, Panorama has already matched the record from 2022
  • Lindsay scored his 54th goal on his 80th game for the team, reaching Goncalves and Morris in the 20th place overall for match played, just 2 behind Inward and 4 behind Egbers
