Match Report Panorama destroyed Sporting at home with a resounding 7-0 win (a record in the Kelly's era, beating a 7-1 win against Randburg in 2015), silencing their critics after a hard start of the season.

It was a game where Panorama dominated in each aspect. Physically they were much tougher than Sporting, who spent more time arguing with the referee than worrying about defending. The weak wings allowed Olgiati, Lewis and Bezuidenhout plenty of space to use their speed.

Jeanes was mostly a spectator for the whole game, but when called to action, he produced a great save to deny Sporting the littlest of consolation prizes.

The back four had no trouble with Sporting's forwards, and they even managed to score with Dixon (the 1-0, an atomic header from Harris' corner) and Wills (the 7-0, deflecting Dixon's shot to beat the keeper) back in shape after an ankle operation,  and getting close with Robson with yet another header. De Toit and Kelly took care of defensive duties on the left with little effort.

Panorama's midfielders bossed Sporting from the first to the last minute. Harris and Dupont provided the passing, Almeida the trickery, while Atkinson took care of the hard job of defending (even if he scored the 3-0 from Thornton's cross with a header 1cm from the line and tried four of five long distance attempts at goals...).

Olgiati and Lewis had no issues on the wings. Olgiati score the 4-0 by beating the offside trap on the wings from a pass by Dixon and easily slotting against the keeper (while providing 2 more assists), while Lewis scored the 2-0 (from Olgiati's precise pass) and assisted Bezuidenhout for the easier of the goals.

Up front Thronton and Miles were used mostly as decoy, to allow the wingers to stay unmarker. Bezuidenhout use his speed and precision to score the 5-0, after receiving an Olgiati's pass and converting from the tighest of the corners with a precision of a snooker player.

Overall it was a great performance by Panorama.
