REPORT: QPR 1-3 Coventry City
Ellis Simms scored the winning goal for the Sky Blues against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road, securing a victory and all three points.
The forward successfully netted his initial goals for the Club, as Josh Eccles marked his first of the season, against a powerful performance during the latter half of the game.
The home team managed to score one goal at the end thanks to Kenneth Paal, but it didn't change the outcome of the game.
In the beginning of the match, the Sky Blues had an opportunity to score. Ellis Simms got hold of a misplaced ball from the opponent's defense, sprinted towards the goal, and shot the ball over the goalpost from a difficult angle.
On the opposite side, Ben Wilson made an excellent stop by stretching his body to keep Lyndon Dykes' header from scoring.
The city advanced with the aim of making progress, but faced obstacles. Simms attempted a shot that was blocked by Steve Cook, Luis Binks' shot was redirected behind the goal, and Bobby Thomas missed his chance when he headed the ball over the crossbar.
At the mid-point of the game, the score between QPR and the Sky Blues remains even at zero.
The latter part of the game kicked off similar to the initial stage with Simms rapidly making his way to the goalpost. However, on this occasion, Asmir Begovic, guarding the Hoops goal, prevented Simms from scoring.
Shortly after, Lyndon Dykes attempted a shot but was unable to cause any difficulties for Wilson unlike his earlier attempts in the first half. This shot ended up going over the goalpost and not on target.
Once again, Begovic was speedy in coming out to prevent Simms from scoring by attempting to push the ball under the goalkeeper. However, Begovic made himself appear larger to halt the shot.
Simms made two unsuccessful attempts to score against Begovic, but finally succeeded by receiving a header from Luis Binks and driving the ball past the legs of the goalkeeper. This resulted in City taking the lead.
After a short while, the score went up to 2-0 as Godden's attempt bounced off Latibeaudiere and got picked up by Josh Eccles. Eccles then took a shot, which hit Adomah and went past Begovic.
QPR wanted to find a way to get back in the game and tried to send a long pass towards the box for Dykes. However, when the striker had a chance to head the ball into the box, it missed the goal post and went wide instead. Wilson wasn't in danger of losing his position as goalkeeper.
The floodgates burst open at Loftus Road and Simms quickly scored his second goal of the game. He received a pass from Jamie Allen and successfully kicked the ball into the goal, bringing the score to 3-0.
Following an impressive rescue in the initial forty-five minutes, Wilson delivered yet another brilliant block to prevent an Andre Dozzell shot from afar.
With only ten minutes left in the game, Simms was replaced by Haji Wright who immediately tried to score. Unfortunately, his close-range shot was saved by Begovic and resulted in a corner kick.
During the play that followed, Eccles aimed for Godden's head close to the goal post, however Godden was unable to aim his shot towards the goal.
Towards the end of the game, Kenneth Paal scored a goal for the home team, but unfortunately it didn't make much difference to the result.
