| Match Report |
Panorama continuted the incredible start of the season with the 3rd win in 3 matches. This time the opponent was the highly-rated Grupo Desportiva, a team known for the young age of the group and the general fitness of the team. Panorama started with an unusual 4-5-1 but after the first exchanges it was Grupo who found the opening goal: their midfielder shot from 30 meters but keeper Thornton, returning after a week of absence, was unlucky with the bounce, and the ball somehow ended under his legs for the 1-0. Soon after Grupo had a chance to score the 2-0 with a venemous freekick from distance, but Thornton restored some price by saving a sure goal. And then suddenly the Undertakers changed gear and it was game over. In the space of 20 minutes they found two goals and created chances for few more. First Olgiati played Veldon, who after beating the keeper decided to pass the ball to Thronton instead of scoring, but the chance was gone. The first goal came from the right, a ball was played deep and Olgiati believed in it, and somehow managed to cross it in the area. The ball landed on Almeida's feet who, with compusure, lobbed the keeper from outside the box with his left foot for a marvellous goal. 5 minute later Panorama took the lead. It was again Almeida who took a beautiful free kick for the always-running Veldon, who hit the ball in the opposite corner with his head and gave no chance to the keeper. Panorama then unleashed the right side and Olgiati played an one-two with Robson who sprinted for 60 meters before playing Thornton who couldn't connect to the ball. In the second half Grupo focused more on the bickering than on the playing, and they were punished very quickly. A long ball was flicked by Veldon and ended up on Olgiati, who turned the marker and then simply beat the keeper with his left for the 3-1. 10 minutes later it was a copycat goal: this time from a long ball Thornton flicked for Olgiati, who resisted the pulling by the right back and finished in the opposite corner for the 4-1 and Olgiati's 10th goal since joining the vets. Mac Gregor took care of cleaning the line when a defensive mistake left a Grupo's player with a chance to score with an empty goal, but it was not meant to be. With Grupo wasting time moaning at the ref chances came quickly and often. Mathebula could have scored and so Thornton and Olgiati, going for the hat-trick, but it was Mathebula who managed to score (even if the last touch was by a Grupo's player) the final 5-1. It was another great performance by the Panorama Vets team, who is now leading the table with 3 wins in 3 games, and with a 16 unbeaten strike! Man of the match (as voted by the opposition): Nick Thornton. He was unlucky when they scored, but saved the day with two important saves in the first half. |
