Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Loftus Road!
  • 5' Sam Field was booked on 5.
  • 10' Sinclair Armstrong is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Queens Park Rangers FC so far.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Watford FC that had 373 games and scored 406 goals.
  • 20' Jake Livermore is having his name booked by the referee on 20.
  • 23' The referee shows Queens Park Rangers FC player a Yellow card on 23.
  • 28' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Watford FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 33' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 38' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 39' Jack Colback picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 44' 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 Matheus Martins suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Wesley Hoedt on 45 minutes.
  • 49' It’s a booking for Watford FC player. Tom Dele-Bashiru gets a Yellow card.
  • 54' The 36-year-old Jake Livermore has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 59' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 60' Watford FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jake Livermore on 60.
  • 65' GOAL! Jake Livermore scores on 65.
  • 69' Matthew Pollock gets the nod from Watford FC. He replaces Jake Livermore and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 70' Fresh legs for Watford FC! Mileta Rajovic comes on to replace Yaser Asprilla.
  • 71' Paul Smyth is replacing Ilias Chair for the Queens Park Rangers FC side.
  • 76' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Queens Park Rangers FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 77' The deadlock is broken! Lyndon Dykes gets on the scoresheet on 77 minutes.
  • 82' Watford FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 85' Another change for Queens Park Rangers FC made on 85 minute. Sam Field leaves to be changed by Andre Dozzell.
  • 90' 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.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Watford FC to claim maximum points.
