1' QPR kick off.

2' EARLY CHANCE! Taylor finds Davis in behind. Walsh comes rushing out, though, and does well to save Leif's effort.

3' HIRST OPENS IT!! 1-0! Matusiwa wins the ball in midfield, and after a few passes Taylor slips Davis through on the left. His ball into the box is met by Hirst, who taps it in.

7' Philogene is open in the box, but his shot is blocked by a QPR defender.

9' AND ANOTHER, IT'S PHILOGENE!! Burns finds Hirst on the edge of the box, who then plays it to Philogene ahead of him. After getting past one, Philogene pokes his shot past Walsh.

31' Philogene swings a cross towards the far post which is met by the head of Hirst. He heads it into the box for Nunez, and after being tackled the ball falls to Furlong behind him. He smashes a shot over.

38' Vale fires over from distance.

40' 3 QPR shots from Varane, Mbengue, and Vale are all blocked in quick succession. The ensuing corner is caught easily by Walton.

45' 5 minutes added on.

45+5' HT- IPSWICH TOWN 2-0 QPR

=============

QPR SUBS: Madsen and Clarke-Salter off for Smyth and Smith.

46' Town kick off the second half. Hirst's shot from the edge of the box is straight at Walsh.

47' Furlong is booked.

51' Smyth makes a good run and is only stopped by a lunge from Greaves. From the free kick, Chair fires over.

54' PHILOGENE CLOSE! Matusiwa lobs a ball to Philogene in plenty of space. Jaden takes it first time and shoots, but his volley is stopped well by Walsh.

58' Smyth makes a run all the way to the edge of the box under little pressure, and his shot is saved by Walton. Before a QPR player can get the rebound, O'Shea clears.

62' SUBS: Philogene and Burns off for Clarke and McAteer.

71' SUBS: Hirst and Nunez off for Azon and Mehmeti.

77' Davis's free kick finds the head of O'Shea at the back post, but his attempt to head across goal is too heavy for McAteer to tap in.

83' Smyth's shot is saved by Walton and parried straight to Bennie, who smashes his shot miles over.

85' MCATEER FINISHES IT, 3-0 TOWN!!! Mehmeti wins the ball from Edwards and Taylor takes over. His attempt is stopped by Walsh, but he then gives it straight to McAteer to tap in.

No first half commentary. If you close your eyes and imagine more text here it's basically the same thing.

===============

46' Ipswich kick off the second half.

46' Larin attempts an acrobatic shot which Walton tips over well.

48' BURNSSSSSS!!!! 0-1! Greaves win the ball on halfway and sends a ball up to Azon. He does well to run with the ball and pokes it to Burns, who finishes past Peretz.

57' Greaves slides in on Azaz and gets 0% ball, giving away a free kick on the edge of the box, along with being booked.

58' 1-1, Manning hits the free kick low and it deflects in.

63' Philogene bursts through and powers a strike just wide. At the other end, Scienza attempts to place a curled strike which ends up slightly too high.

67' SUBS: Philogene and Burns off for Clarke and McAteer.

68' SOUTHAMPTON SUB: Edozie off for Fellows.

75' Furlong has a header which goes straight into Peretz's hands. He then starts a counter, which is stopped by a foul from Azon. Yellow for him.

76' SUBS: Azon and Nunez off for Hirst and Cajuste (i thought he was dead!)

78' Azaz fires a low shot just wide.

80' 2-1, Larin.

81' SUB: Matusiwa off for Akpom. SO'TON SUB: Larin off for Stewart.

84' CHANCE! Furlong plays a good first time pass out to Hirst on the counter. He then finds McAteer in the middle, but his strike on the turn doesn't have enough power and is saved easily by Peretz.

87' EQUALISER, CLARKE!!! Cajuste's long throw is cleared up to Clarke, who plays a ball into the box. After two Town players win their headers, a So'ton defender clears as far as Clarke (again) on the edge of the box, and his volley settles into the bottom right corner.

88' CLOSE!! Davis's cross is met by Furlong, but his header from close range is wide.

89' EVEN CLOSER!! My fingers can't type fast enough— Clarke strikes for the near post, and hits the near post. It comes back off Peretz and out.

90' 5 minutes added time.

90+3' Neil crosses to the far post for Hirst to tap in, but the midfielder was offside.

90+4' STILL NOT IN, SAVED BY PERETZ! On the left, Clarke twists and turns before powering a show which was heading for the top corner, only denied as Peretz tips wide.

1' Town kick off.

19' Diakite attempts a shot from outside the box, which Walton saves comfortably. Diakite then immediately goes down.

23' Kipre takes his time on the ball in his own box, not knowing Dike is right behind him. He picks it up and is denied by a good save from Walton.

27' Kipre clatters into Dike and is booked.

29' Mehmeti hits a long ball to Azon— with O'Leary rushing out, Azon attempts to dink a shot over the keeper, but Phillips gets across to clear the attempt (which was off target anyway).

33' CHANCE! Greaves plays a great cross to the back post for McAteer, who plays it back into the center. He finds Azon free, but he slips while shooting and balloons his shot miles over.

42' Imray takes a shot which is deflected then, after a few players miss the rebound, Heggebo drags it just wide.

43' Walton does well to get down and parry away a shot from Mowatt.

============

46' West Brom kick off the second half, hopefully I didn't miss anything in the 5 minutes I was gone.

52' GREAT SAVE WALTON! Town are cut open after 3 passes, with Imray finding Dike free in the box. His shot is good and heading towards the top right corner, but Walton gets across to save.
