Match Report Panorama finished the season on top, by winning at home in an ugly game 2-0 against Maritimo. Thanks to the victory now Panorama leads the league with a cushion of 5 points.

The game was very nervous from the beginning, with the referee losing control and making mistakes against both sides, who left players frustrated. Maritimo played an insanely high offside line, and they were lucky when certain decisions went in their favour, especially when the midfield played through balls with Olgiati and Thornton called in dodgy offsides.

But even with the lack of real chances Maritimo was never close to score. 

In the second half coach Kelly decided to introduce most of the players from the sideline, hoping to shift the game in his favour. And he was correct. De Toit won a ball in the midfield and fed Olgiati, who managed to find Thornton in the area for the first goal.

10 minutes again it was Veldon (nominated man of the match) who released Olgiati. Olgiati's shot/pass found Thornton again for the 2-0.

This left Maritimo frustrated and a fight started between one of their players and Mathebula, who was on the field for 5 minutes. Matehbula was attacked, and he tried to defend himself, but the referee decided to send both players in the changing rooms.

The rest of the game was a scrappy contest, with Panorama close on the third goal few times. But the final score stayed the same.
