QPR and Bristol City Play Out Goalless Draw

Queens Park Rangers and Bristol City extended their unbeaten streaks with a 0-0 tie at Loftus Road. The Robins, under interim manager Roy Hodgson, are undefeated since his appointment, having won their first two matches. Rangers, meanwhile, have not lost in five games and welcomed back Rumarn Burrell from a three-month injury layoff as a substitute. City had the better chances in the first half, with Scott Twine's half-volley being the closest to a goal. QPR goalkeeper Joe Walsh made several key saves, including a deflected effort from Emil Riis. In the second half, Walsh pushed away a shot from Twine, and Paul Smyth sliced a shot wide. QPR head coach Julien Stephan changed his forward line, bringing on Burrell and Daniel Bennie, but the visitors' defense held strong. Bristol City has kept two consecutive clean sheets under Hodgson, looking more solid and organized. The match ended with no significant scoring opportunities, and both teams worked hard but lacked quality. In stoppage time, Tomi Horvat over-hit a pass, and Walsh collected the ball, summing up the lack of quality in the match. QPR's Julien Stephan praised his players' effort, saying they showed the season is not over for them. Bristol City's Roy Hodgson thought the teams canceled each other out, but his team was more adventurous in the second half.
