In his 100th and final appearance for QPR, defender Steve Cook inadvertently gifted Swansea an early goal, setting the tone for a 2-1 defeat at Loftus Road. Cook, who was named captain for the evening, attempted to clear a hopeful ball but ended up tripping teammate Rhys Norrington-Davies, allowing Ronald to score his first goal since September. Despite a spirited effort from QPR, Swansea doubled their lead with a late penalty from top scorer Zan Vipotnik, although Norrington-Davies managed to score a consolation in stoppage time.
The match marked a bittersweet farewell for Cook, who received a standing ovation from the home fans when he was substituted on the hour mark. QPR manager Julien Stephan praised Cook's contributions to the team, both on and off the pitch, and wished him well for the future.
Swansea boss Vitor Matos expressed his satisfaction with the win, noting that his team had dominated with and without the ball, although he felt that the penalty decision was incorrect.
