Match Report Panorama produced another dominant display and took home 3 important points. With Lenesia losing again (this time against Randburg) it now means that Panorama are at the top with a 3 points cushion.

Kelly started the team on a stormy night with a solid 4-4-2, relying on De Leo and Egbers up front in order to attack the less physical back four of Old Parks. 

Olgiati, returning on the same field when only last year he left with a concussion, scored the opening goal relatively quickly when  a ball played by Benites was dummied by Egbers and ended up on his feet. Olgiati controlled and shot with his right, with the keeper managing to block it, only for the rebound to finish on Olgiati's left who cooly slotted in.

Panorama dominated but could not find another goal, with Old Parks relying only on long balls. The return of Lewis gave some more speed on the wings, and eventually, after a good passing action on the right, Olgiati found De Leo with a cross that the Panorama's striker only had to push in with his header. 

After Olgiati got injured (once again not finishing a fully game at Old Parks), Panorama found the third goal after a solo move by Benites, who found De Leo, whose shot was parried it in Egbers direction. Egbers shot it from a tight angle and scored the 3rd of the night.
