Match Report Panorama celebrated their league win with a hard-fought victory against Florida in difficul conditions.

Coach Robson decided to start with a 4-5-1, with Egbers as a solitary striker up front and the two speedsters Lindsay and Goncalves in support. But for the first 20-25 minutes, on a very wet pitch, the game was a confusing mess, with Panorama (and Florida) unable to complete simple passes and rushing in the decisions. Eventually Florida managed to go ahead on a counter attack. 

Probably that was what Panorama needed, and the League Champions finally found some composure and reacted by scoring a goal minutes later thanks to a precise header by Dixon from Almeida's free kick. Even when Robson was sin-binned didn't change things, with Panorama slowly but surely eroding Florida's confidence.

In the second half Robson made some adjustment to the formation and Panorama started dominating again, with Goncalves inches away from the winning goal when he missed a good chance. But luckiy minutes later finally Panorama went ahead, even if it tooks few attempts: on the counter attack Olgiati chipped the keeper, but his first shot was saved by the defender. The resulting ball ended on Olgiati's head, but his second effort also was saved by another defender. Eventually the ball ended on Benites' head, and his header was block by the keeper, only for Olgiati to finally push the ball in.

After that Florida deflated and Panorama scored a 3rd goal thank to Bailey's precise shot after a mistake by the backline, with Jeanes providing some sort of assist.

The game could have been more tense if in the final minutes Inward didn't hypnotize the Florida striker taking the penalty and missing it.

Overall a confusing first half but once again Panorama showed character to make 2 from 2 in this Summer League
