0' The game is set. Queens Park Rangers FC kicks off things out of here…
5' The 24-year-old Taylor Harwood-Bellis has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
10' Ryan Fraser has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
15' Southampton FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
20' It looks surprising Southampton FC does not make any changes. Joe Aribo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
25' Asmir Begovic is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Southampton FC so far.
30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
32' The Southampton FC bench stirs into life. James Bree is withdrawn and Ryan Manning gets his opportunity.
37' Southampton FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
42' Taylor Harwood-Bellis has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 42 minutes.
45' Elijah Dixon-Bonner has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 45.
50' Jack Stephens has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
55' A quiet spell here at Loftus Road. Queens Park Rangers FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
56' Another substitution for Southampton FC to replace William Smallbone by Che Adams on 56 minute.
57' Another change for Southampton FC made on 57 minute. Flynn Downes leaves to be changed by Shea Charles.
62' Ryan Manning is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Queens Park Rangers FC tonight.
67' Ziyad Larkeche is ready to make an impact after coming on for Elijah Dixon-Bonner at the 67 minute mark.
68' The referee shows Southampton FC player a Yellow card on 68.
71' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Che Adams.
74' A tactical swap from Queens Park Rangers FC — Paul Smyth on, Chris Willock off on 74 minutes.
75' The Queens Park Rangers FC bench stirs into life. Lyndon Dykes is withdrawn and Sinclair Armstrong gets his opportunity.
80' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
84' The crowd applauds Andre Dozzell as he leaves the pitch. Charlie Kelman steps in for Queens Park Rangers FC.
85' Time for substitution for Queens Park Rangers FC. Reggie Cannon is replaced by Albert Adomah.
86' The crowd applauds Adam Armstrong as he leaves the pitch. Jack Stephens steps in for Southampton FC.
89' The referee shows Southampton FC player a Red card on 89.
90' Jack Stephens catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 90.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Southampton FC players.
