Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Queens Park Rangers FC host Preston North End FC — let the battle begin!
5' Milutin Osmajic has been relatively quiet despite scoring 30 goals in his last 129 appearances.
10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Queens Park Rangers FC and Preston North End FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
20' Lyndon Dykes adds to his 2 season tally! Queens Park Rangers FC lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
25' Queens Park Rangers FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Preston North End FC's 3-4-1-2 shape.
30' Liam Lindsay is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Preston North End FC tonight.
35' Alan Browne has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
36' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jack Colback on 36.
41' Queens Park Rangers FC is showing some good football. However, Queens Park Rangers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
46' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 46 minutes.
51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ryan Lowe will be considering his options from the bench.
56' Preston North End FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
58' Preston North End FC player sees a card in front of him.

79' Another change for Preston North End FC made on 79 minute. Will Keane leaves to be changed by Milutin Osmajic.
84' 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 Emil Riis Jakobsen suffering a number of foals already.
85' The Queens Park Rangers FC manager makes a substitution. Kenneth Paal departs to be replaced by Morgan Fox.
87' A moment of madness from Lyndon Dykes on 87 minutes earns him a card. Queens Park Rangers FC will be frustrated.
