Burnley dominates and defeats QPR in a low-scoring match
Burnley achieved a resounding victory over Queens Park Rangers in a match they dominated extensively, especially in the second half. Possession of the ball was a clear indicator of the home side’s superiority, reaching 75% compared to the visitors’ 25%. This dominance was reflected in the number of shots: 21 for Burnley, 4 of which were on target, while QPR managed only 2 shots, none of them on target.
Despite the territorial dominance, the score remained close throughout the first half. However, in the second half, Burnley proved much more incisive and created several dangerous chances. Most of these opportunities were generated through high pressing and play on the wings. QPR, for their part, showed little ability to generate danger in attack, only managing 1 shot off target.
Although the game ended with a comfortable victory for Burnley, it wasn’t without controversy. In the second half, QPR was affected by a yellow card for D. Bennie, who was cautioned for a strong tackle. Additionally, the visitors made numerous substitutions in the final minutes of the match, which could have affected their rhythm of play.
