MATCH THREAD: ' QPR v CARDIFF CITY ' MATCH THREAD

Close! @CWashington1992 gets beyond Connolly but his shot comes back off the far post (0-0)

Waltzing through...

Super run from Loungo through the Cardiff defence... somebody challenge him! Eventually, Bamba and Morrison combine to get it clear.

Mackie does well to get to the by-line but can't pick out a #QPR team-mate with his cross (0-0)

Mood change?

There’s been a shift in mood in the last couple of minutes, it’s left Cardiff City penned in, unable to launch counter-attacks because their passing is wayward. QPR are coming forward more often. Washington is a big threat.

SeanGoss sends in a couple of dangerous crosses but #QPR can't get a head on either (0-0) #QPR6667

Washington hitting heights

Morrison is bullied off the ball by Washington and QPR finally shoot through Sean Goss.

Easy enough for a sprawling McGregor.

SeanGoss gets a shot away from 20 yards which McGregor saves low down to his left (0-0)

Zohore heads clear under pressure from another dangerous QPR corner. (0-0)

Perch's cross is blocked by Bamba at the expense of a #QPR corner.

Its all QPR

He had to block that

Perch arrives late on the right side of the box to try and squeeze in a shot. Good block by Richards. Corner to the Rs. Cardiff clear.

@MassLuongo catches Connolly and is the first player into the referee's book (0-0)

corner City,but wasted

Bamba solid

YES 0-1 SOL BAMBA

Well, what can you say? Sol Bamba is a master of timing, isn’t he?

He met that corner with a fantastic header that puts the Bluebirds into a bouyant half time leader. Whether they deserved it is another matter, but it’s been a solid counter-attacking display from Neil Warnock’s side.

My thoughts are that these home fans will be frustrated with their side. The Rs got into plenty of decent positions, but squandered the ball too often in the final third. Warnock 1-0 Holloway so far.

City fans in great voice

City fans in great voice

50/50 this game.

For the home side QPR are doing the right things. For the away side we are also doing it right. We did it a little bit more right than them. You know what they say.....fine margins.

Should of been a penalty for City Noone brought down

Close to 2-0

Oh so close for Cardiff! Ralls and Gunnarsson work an opening for Zohore, who gets to the byline inside the box and crosses for Hoilett.

The Canadian just couldn’t get a touch on it.

CLOSE! Hoilett is robbed of the ball in the six-yard box, after Zohore tees him up. (0-1)

Attendance watch

15,103 inside Loftus Road, including 1,852 visiting fans.

Zohore goes close with a low shot which is scrambled clear off the line. Cardiff sense a second.

Sub

A change for QPR as Ngbakoto replaces Sean Goss in midfield. I’m going to have trouble spelling that name!

Two more efforts

Free-kick in a cracking spot. Noone to whip it in with that left foot. Well headed away by Onuohua, then both Hoilett and Zohore have shots blocked in the melee that ensues.

City go close again, as Hoilett's shot is blocked before Zohore hits high and wide. (0-1)

1-1

QPR level! @Yeni_Ngbakoto23 combines with Mackie before firing into the roof of the net. COYRS! (1-1)

Big wobble

Cardiff are wobbling. Rangers are jubilant. They flood forward again and Morrison is booked for a cynical foul on Washington.

@CWashington1992 is chopped down by Morrison, who's booked. #QPR on top now! (1-1)
