Match Report Panorama provided another dominating display by winning on a difficult night against Randburg with a convincing 4-0.

Kelly started with a 4-4-2 with Inward in goals. with Jeanes deployed on the right side. Dixon once again was paired with Robson due Clive Smith's long absence. Smith Jr completed the back four. In the midfield a returning Veldon took his central role with Almeida, with Olgiati and Benites on the wings, while De Leo and Egbers starting up front.

From the start it was a total Panorama's domination, even if DIxon got an early yellow card for a body check. Randburg, uncapabale of dealing with the pressure provided by Panorama, resorted to all the possible tricks in the book to try to annoy the opposition, but mostly they ended up upsetting the referees with the non-stop bickering.

Panorama found 3 goals in the space of 20 minutes. The first one was came from a fantastic long-rang effort by Egbers, scoring in his 3rd consecutive game, while the second one came from another long range effort, this time with a precise free kick by Veldon that the keeper didn't even try to stop. De Leo scored the 3rd after Egbers' shot was saved just few minutes later.

Panorama could have scored few more with the best effort of note was Egbers hitting the post from a good position.

In the second half Randburg tried some sort of offense, but their frsutration was evident. So they resorting in trying to provoke Panorama's players, and Kelly ended up with the second yellow card of the game. The few times Randburg got close on scoring they were blocked by the monolithic back four, with Jeanes providing some decisive tackles against the quicker players.

Eventually Panorama scored the 4th with Olgiati, until then pretty invisible, simply stopping and tapping in from a beautiful low cross by Ryan Smith. Jeanes and Miles both scored goals, but the referees ruled them off for an non-existing foul and a dubious offside.

This was another good win for Panorama, the 7th in a row, that allowed the team to stay on top, 3 points ahead of Lenesia.
