QPR and Bristol City Play to a Scoreless Draw
Queens Park Rangers and Bristol City played out a 0-0 draw, maintaining their recent undefeated streaks. The Robins, now under interim manager Roy Hodgson, have not lost since his appointment and have won their first two matches under his guidance. Rangers, meanwhile, are unbeaten in five matches and welcomed back Rumarn Burrell from a three-month injury layoff. In the first half, City looked more threatening, with Scott Twine missing a half-volley opportunity. QPR's goalkeeper, Joe Walsh, made several key saves, including a deflected effort from Emil Riis. At the other end, Kieran Morgan and Richard Kone had chances, but City's goalkeeper, Radek Vitek, kept them at bay. After the interval, Walsh continued to make crucial saves, and QPR head coach Julien Stephan made changes to his forward line, introducing Burrell and Daniel Bennie. Despite the changes, the visitors defended well, and the match ended in a draw. Both teams worked hard, but the lack of quality was evident, with few clear-cut chances created. The draw extends Bristol City's clean sheet streak to two matches, and they look more solid under Hodgson's guidance. QPR's Stephan praised his team's effort, stating that they showed they still have something to play for, while Hodgson noted that the teams cancelled each other out, but his side was more adventurous in the second half.
