QPR and Bristol City Share the Spoils in Goalless Draw

QPR and Bristol City extended their unbeaten streaks with a 0-0 draw at Loftus Road. The Robins, under interim manager Roy Hodgson, remain undefeated since his appointment, having won their first two matches. QPR, meanwhile, are unbeaten in five games and welcomed back Rumarn Burrell, who made a substitute appearance after over three months out. City dominated the first half, with Scott Twine's half-volley being their best chance, but QPR's Joe Walsh made several crucial saves. At the other end, Kieran Morgan and Richard Kone had opportunities, but neither team could find the breakthrough. After the interval, Walsh continued to deny City, while QPR's Paul Smyth sliced a shot wide. QPR head coach Julien Stephan made changes to his forward line, introducing Burrell and Daniel Bennie, but the visitors' defense held firm. Bristol City have kept consecutive clean sheets under Hodgson, who has transformed the team since taking charge. Despite a lack of clear-cut chances, both teams worked hard, but the game ended in a stalemate. In the closing stages, Tomi Horvat's over-hit pass summed up the general lack of quality. QPR's Stephan praised his players' effort, stating that the season is not over for them, while Bristol City's Hodgson felt that the teams canceled each other out, but his side was more adventurous in the second half.
