Match Report Panorama continued the good start of the season with a dominating display at Old Parks, taking apart the opponent with a scintillating first 30 minutes.

With only 12 players available, and with Robson returning from his english experience, Kelly started with the same 4-5-1 that was so succesfull in the first game. The return of Robson pushed Dixon in the midfield, while the rest of the team was pretty much the same.

From the start it was clear that Old Parks had no replies to the superior speed and quick passing game, especially on the wings, that Panorama implemented. Olgiati, Meroni and Bezuidenhout combined at high speed, leaving the opponent flabbergasted.

The first goal came from a corner by Meroni, that found the powerful header of Thornton. 10 minutes later it was already 2-0, when Meroni found Bezuidenhout with a clever pass, and Bezuidenhout had time to find De Leo in the middle for the tap-in for the 2-0.

After scoring 3 goals in the opening game, Bezuidenhout could have probably scored 3 more, but was mostly unlucky with the final shot. Even when he managed to place a shot, it bounced off the post, but Olgiati was there to score the 3-0 with the easiest of the headers.

In the second half Panorama took their foot off the accellerator, and miss 3-4 more chances to round the score. Thornton couldn't convert from Robson's cross and Olgiati's pass, while Bezuidenhout had a personal duel with the keeper that was on a mission to deny him a goal.

Overall it was a great performance by Panorama, and the second win in two games so far.
