QPR and Bristol City Share Goalless Draw in Tight Championship Contest
Queens Park Rangers FC and Bristol City FC were forced to settle for a point apiece in a 0-0 draw on Championship Matchday 42, with neither side able to find a decisive moment despite a flurry of second-half changes and bookings.
The match, played on 11 April 2026, finished goalless, leaving the hosts and visitors to reflect on missed opportunities and solid defensive organisation. Detailed information on chances and key saves was not available, but the match data underlined a competitive, stop-start encounter.
Queens Park Rangers picked up four yellow cards over the 90 minutes. Jonathan Varane was the first into the referee’s book in the 27th minute, followed by Amadou Salif Mbengue ten minutes into the second half. Late cautions for Daniel Bennie on 75 minutes and Rhys Norrington-Davies on 85 minutes highlighted QPR’s physical edge as they tried to keep Bristol City at bay.
Bristol City were not without disciplinary issues of their own. Noah Eile received a yellow card in the 66th minute, and substitute Delano Burgzorg was booked in the 89th minute as tensions rose towards the end.
Both managers turned to their benches in search of a winner. QPR introduced Rumarn Burrell for Rayan Kolli in the 68th minute, with Bennie replacing Richard Kone a minute later. Kwame Poku was brought on for Kieran Morgan in the 75th minute as the home side reshuffled their attacking options.
Bristol City responded with a double change on 76 minutes, as Burgzorg replaced Emil Riis Jakobsen and Ross McCrorie came on for Mark Sykes. Later, George Earthy entered for Max Bird in the 83rd minute, and Tomi Horvat replaced Scott Twine in the 88th minute.
With no goals and limited event data beyond cards and substitutions, the draw ultimately reflects a closely contested fixture that neither side managed to tilt in their favour. For more information, visit the full match page or explore the Championship on Ballaxy.
