Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Queens Park Rangers FC welcome Derby County FC for this crunch clash at Loftus Road.
  • 5' Queens Park Rangers FC have won 398 goals from 378 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

  • 35' What composure from Koki Saito! The Japan international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 40' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Marti Cifuentes will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 46' Thomas Barkhuizen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lars-Jorgen Salvesen on 46 minute.
  • 51' 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 Nathaniel Mendez-Laing suffering a number of foals already.

  • 67' Ben Osborn makes way for Kenzo Goudmijn at the 67 minute mark. A tactical switch from Derby County FC.

  • 84' Liam Morrison gets the nod from Queens Park Rangers FC. He replaces Steve Cook and will look to change the dynamic.
