| Match Report |
Panorama finished the season in style by winning away to arch-rivals Randburg and topping the league after an unbeaten season (the only defeat happened in a cup semi-final). Kelly re-introduced Stoychev in the starting eleven months after the played his first and only game in the league, deploying him up-front while Miles was pushed on the left. Gary Thornton started in goals, and the rest of the team was pretty much similar to the one that played most of the league games. The only missing players were those ones injured: Almeida and Chrichton. After an early exchange, Panorama found the opening goal within 15 minutes, when Miles combined with Stoychev on the left. Stoychev cross was then converted by Olgiati with a powerful header. Randburg kept tinkering with the formation, trying to block the widths, but they were lucky to not finish the first half with few more goals against them. Veldon had a great chance when hit the ball inches wide from an Olgiati's cross, and Stoychev was unlucky with his last touch. Their only big chance came from outside the box, but Thornton was ready and pulled some magnificent saves. In the second half Randburg pushed even more, taking advantage of the unusual lack of precisions in passing from Panorama. They found the 1-1 with a tentative shot that somehow caught Nick Thornton by surprise. But their joy was short lived. Minutes later Stoychev combined with Livesey who, after winning a tackle outside the box, kept his cool to lob the keeper. Soon after it was time for a third goal. Directly from a long kick by Thornton, the Randburg central defender misjudged his header and beat his own keeper. It wasn't enough for Panorama, and finally David Harris, playing in an advanced midfield position, slotted his first of the season after finding himself one on one with the keeper. Randburg pulled one back with another lucky goal, but it was too little, too late, and Panorama started the celebrations for a great league triumph! |
