Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium!
- 5' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Charlie Austin.
- 9' Jacob Davenport is having his name booked by the referee on 9.
- 14' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 19' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Queens Park Rangers FC that had 393 games and scored 421 goals.
- 20' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Dominic Ball on 20 minutes.
- 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mark Warburton might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lewis Travis made 397 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 40' Queens Park Rangers FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 45' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Adam Armstrong suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' Taylor Harwood-Bellis needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 54' Magnificent from Yoann Barbet! That is 21 goals in 354 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 59' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 60' That is a Yellow card for Blackburn Rovers FC. Sam Gallagher will be fuming at that decision.
- 62' Blackburn Rovers FC make a change. Jacob Davenport trudges off to be replaced by Lewis Holtby on 62 minutes.
- 67' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 67 minutes.
- 72' Queens Park Rangers FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 74' A change in the Blackburn Rovers FC ranks — Sam Gallagher exits the field as Tyrhys Dolan enters on 74.
- 78' Ben Brereton gets the nod from Blackburn Rovers FC. He replaces Lewis Holtby and will look to change the dynamic.
- 83' The Queens Park Rangers FC manager makes a substitution. Lyndon Dykes departs to be replaced by Albert Adomah.
- 88' With 0 assists to his name this season, Charlie Austin is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Blackburn Rovers FC.
