QPR will be rueing that miss from Tjaronn Chery.
Ball went in direct to Seb Polter, who knocked it back to the former Groningen man.
Wide. Shame as it was a lovely move.
QPR 1-3 Middlesbrough
Gaston Ramirez makes way after his goal, Adam Forshaw is on.
He played for Brentford so there might be a few boos from Rangers fans with longer memories, and who hold enough venom for the Bees with Fulham and Chelsea also to think about.
Ale Faurlin's free-kick punctures the optimism as it sails over the Rangers masses and into the crowd for a Boro throw on the far side.
They need to be much more clinical.
Jamie Mackie tries to get Rangers on the break but it looked like he was running in treacle as he was closed down.
Junior Hoilett goes down the left and wins a useful free-kick...
QPR 1-3 Middlesbrough
QPR look to spark their fightback with Junior Hoilett on for Matty Phillips. Fits and starts for the latter.
Rangers look to play in Seb Polter on the edge of the box but Boro close him out.
Now a 50/50 between Nedum Onouha and a Boro player has given the hosts a free-kick
Albert Admoah can be a total menace or totally anonymous, depending on his mood.
Tonight he's been the former. Has given QPR a real problem down the right.
Tjarron Chery sends one wide. Not great for the Rs.
Loftus Road, tight and compact as it is, can be most atmospheric but all you can hear at the moment are Teesside voices.
Not surprising really given the following...
Alex Smithies is having a fine game for QPR, having to beat away another tempting cross for a corner.
Grant Leadbitter looks for a goal with a low, skimming drive which Smithies watches wide.
All Boro now.
QPR 1-3 Middlesbrough
Towering header from the big centre-half Ben Gibson extends Boro's lead and maybe sends the Teessiders into the automatic promotion places.
Came from a corner, after a fine save by Alex Smithies. George Friend smashed it on the left after he was picked out by Stewart Downing.
QPR's wickedly swinging corner to the back post is beaten away by Boro keeper Dimi Konstanopoulos. Danger averted for now.
Boro back in possession and a goal to the good. Has David Nugent sat back down now?
QPR get a free-kick for a 'foul' on Seb Polter. Free-kick cleared as far as Tjaronn and his shot deflects for a corner...
QPR 1-2 Middlesbrough
Having been denied from the spot, Grant Leadbitter swings in the corner and Gaston Ramirez gets in front of his man to flick in past hero Alex Smithies for Boro's second.
Harsh on the former Huddersfield keeper but Boro won't mind.

Alex Smithies saves! Grant Leadbitter denied.
One-way traffic in the first few minutes as Albert Adomah again is the outlet but his cross is snapped up by Alex Smithies.
Jordan Rhodes tries to roll the Rangers defence and is foiled.
David Nugent is out warming up for Boro... will they go two up top?
Jordan Rhodes again unable to head the ball in from an Albert Adomah cross.
Boro worked the ball down the left for field position and then switched to the right.
Danger for QPR but they're let off.
QPR 1-1 Middlesbrough
Back underway at Loftus Road... big 45 minutes ahead.

It's quarter-final weekend in the Women's FA Cup and and there has been some fighting talk.
They pay to play - but can third-tier side Sporting Club Albion climb an "astronomical mountain" and beat Manchester City?
Albion striker Leigh Dugmore is determined to lead the charge and sent a cheeky tweet declaring their intent.

Elsewhere, second division side Aston Villa face holders Chelsea, while Arsenal host Notts County and Sunderland take on Reading.
With the international break over - we've revelled in England's performance one day and bemoaned it the next.
But that's all history now, as we go giddy with excitement once again with England's top two divisions back to full swing.
