Match Report After last week heroic performance against Lenesia, Panorama travelled away to Linhill for what was supposed to be one of those easy games, against the bottom team.

On a dark and hard ground, and with Dixon and DeLeo on the not available list, Kelly started the team with a solid 4-4-2, with the unusual pairing of Miles and Bailey up front.

From the start Panorama dominated the game, with Linhill playing a 8-1-1 formation in order to keep their goal protected. Miles had a golden chance but his precise shot hit the top bar. Panorama struggled to find some rhythm against a very defensive team, and for most of the first half they relied on long range shots that were dealt accordingly by Linhill's keeper.

The only highlight of the game was probably the goal. After a quick counterattack, the ball landed at Harris' feet on the right, and after beating his marker he delivered a great cross that Olgiati converted with a well timed volley.

The second half was more of the same. Panorama attacked and Linhill managed to escape additional punishment, growing in confidence as the match progressed, but never really troubling Jeanes. Wills had a chance for a 2-0 but his shot was saved by the keeper, and in the dying minutes Robson almost scored with a header, but the ball landed few centimeters away from the line.

Not the best performance by Panorama, which will take only the final win as a positive.

Some stats:
  • Panorama extended their unbeaten streak to 12 games
  • Panorama have never lost against Linhill (7 games played, 5 wins and 2 draws)
  • Olgiati scored at lest one goal in the last 7 games, and reached Thornton at the top for most game played since the introduction of the stats (146, since 2013)
