Panorama delivered one of their best performances of the season in a challenging encounter, but it wasn't enough to secure three points away at Randburg.

Abandoning the 3-5-2 experiment, Panorama reverted to their familiar 4-5-1 formation, and the comfort of this well-known setup was evident from the start. They displayed confident ball movement, spreading play effectively across the field.

The first real chance was converted by Lindsay, who embarked on a solo 30-meter run after capitalizing on a defensive error, netting the opening goal. Despite continued pressure, Panorama was unlucky in the final third.

The back four—Ho Lam, Neale, Benites, and Garrard—provided stellar protection for the defense, allowing the wide midfielders to focus on their attacking duties.

In the second half, injuries led to some players fading, and Randburg managed to equalize at 1-1. However, Panorama regained the lead through another brilliant move by Lindsay, finished off by Barei. Both Olgiati and Inward struck the post, with Olgiati's effort coming from outside the area and Inward's from a header off a corner. Unfortunately, Randburg's equalizer came in a stroke of bad luck when a rebounded shot off the post hit Lee's back and rolled into the net, ending the match at 2-2.

Overall, it was one of Panorama's best performances of the year, and a win seems imminent.
