Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Queens Park Rangers FC host Coventry City FC — let the battle begin!
  • 4' The Queens Park Rangers FC manager makes a substitution. Morgan Fox departs to be replaced by Jake Clarke-Salter.
  • 6' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kyle McFadzean on 6.
  • 11' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 16' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 21' Coventry City FC is showing some good football. However, Coventry City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 26' Queens Park Rangers FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 31' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-1-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 36' 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 Bobby Thomas suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Queens Park Rangers FC and Coventry City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 46' Coventry City FC have won 474 goals from 376 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

  • 56' GOAL! Ellis Simms scores on 56.
  • 60' Magnificent from Josh Eccles! That is 5 goals in 376 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.

  • 63' Sinclair Armstrong picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 65' Queens Park Rangers FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 68' The England Ellis Simms breaks the deadlock on 68 minutes. 0-3!
  • 73' With 0 assists to his name this season, Steve Cook is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Coventry City FC.

  • 77' Queens Park Rangers FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 79' Yasin Ayari is replacing Jamie Allen for the Coventry City FC side.
  • 84' Haji Wright needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 4 Yellow cards this season.
