Events
Match Events

- 4' Queens Park Rangers FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 9' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?

- 19' Harrison Reed has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 19.

- 29' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 33' That is a Yellow card for Blackburn Rovers FC. Richard Smallwood will be fuming at that decision.
- 38' Angel Rangel has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 43' Queens Park Rangers FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.

- 80' A tactical swap from Blackburn Rovers FC — Ben Brereton on, Adam Armstrong off on 80 minutes.
