Panorama began their Division 3 campaign with a disappointing draw against FC Barcelona. Olgiati was once again faced with the challenge of a depleted squad due to injuries, lack of commitment, and other unknown reasons, mirroring the situation from six months ago with no improvement in sight.

Despite the setbacks, a dedicated core of players braved the cold night, bolstered by the introduction of several new faces, to kick off their Winter League journey.

Opting for a 3-5-2 formation, Panorama's performance was fragmented, punctuated only by flashes of individual brilliance. Fisher netted twice, putting Panorama ahead at 1-0 and 2-1, but Barcelona consistently found ways to equalize. Even Lindsay's spectacular long-range strike couldn't secure a victory, as Barcelona managed to level the score at 3-3 in the dying minutes, aided by a series of dubious refereeing decisions.

The overall performance was marred by a lack of cohesion and poor attitudes on the field. However, there's hope for improvement as the team continues to gel and overcome their early challenges.

Some stats from the game:

• This was the first encounter between the two teams
• Lindsay's 55th goal moves him only 8 behind Thornton in the overall list
• This was Miles' 24th assist, moving him to 12th
• Neale's 6th yellow card moves him to 5th
