Town fell to defeat at Loftus Road on

From the outset, Town appeared to control the early exchanges, dictating possession and creating a few half-chances. However, it was QPR who broke the deadlock in the 28th minute through a well-executed strike from their striker, who found the bottom corner after a precise cross from the wing. Town responded quickly, showing grit and determination to get back into the game. Their equalizer came shortly before halftime, with a powerful header from their centre-back off a well-delivered corner.

The second half saw both teams press for dominance, but it was QPR who regained the lead just after the 60-minute mark. A counter-attack caught Town off guard, and their defense was unable to stop a swift finish from QPR’s forward, putting the home side back in front. Despite Town’s attempts to level the score, including a couple of close-range shots and a header that rattled the crossbar, QPR held firm.

In the closing stages, Town pushed forward with more urgency, but they could not find a breakthrough. QPR defended resolutely, with their goalkeeper making several crucial saves to deny Town the chance to equalize.

The defeat was a tough pill to swallow for Town, who felt they deserved at least a point from the match. Nonetheless, they will look to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures and build on the positives from their performance at Loftus Road.
