Millwall FC secured a controlled 2–0 victory over Queens Park Rangers FC on Championship matchday 43, striking twice inside the opening 20 minutes to settle the contest early.
Derek Mazou-Sacko gave the hosts the perfect start in the 3rd minute, putting Millwall 1–0 up with the first clear chance of the afternoon. The early breakthrough set the tone, with Queens Park Rangers struggling to contain Millwall’s attacking intensity.
The advantage was doubled on 17 minutes when Camiel Neghli finished off a move that again involved Mazou-Sacko. The forward turned provider this time, registering the assist as Neghli made it 2–0 and placed Millwall firmly in control.
QPR’s frustrations began to show soon after. Ronnie Edwards picked up a yellow card in the 19th minute, followed by another booking for Amadou Salif Mbengue on the half-hour mark. Millwall’s Femi Azeez also went into the referee’s book in the 34th minute, but the home side carried their two-goal cushion into the break.
Queens Park Rangers responded with a raft of changes at half-time, making four substitutions at the interval as Rumarn Burrell, Nicolas Madsen, Isaac Hayden and Steve Cook were all introduced. Ilias Chair followed from the bench on 60 minutes as the visitors searched for a route back into the game.
Millwall managed the second half professionally, using their own substitutions from the 70th minute onwards to maintain energy and control. Late on, Hayden received a yellow card in the 90th minute to cap a difficult afternoon for QPR.
No further goals were added after Neghli’s first-half strike, and Millwall saw out the match to claim all three points. Detailed shot counts, possession figures and other advanced statistics were not available in the provided data.
