    Coventry 2-1 QPR

    Matt Godden has the ball in the net for the second time tonight, but the flag was already up and play had stopped. He was just offside as he got in behind the QPR defence.

  2. CLOSE!published at 61 mins

    Coventry 2-1 QPR

    This is a decent chance for the hosts. Ryan Giles makes a good run down the left and his cross is deflected straight to an unmarked Fankaty Dabo, inside the box, but he drags his effort wide.

    Andrew Mitchell: Rolling back the years a bit on this one but these two as a Watford forward line.... Barnes and Blissett

  4. YELLOW CARD (Coventry)published at 60 mins

    Coventry 2-1 QPR

    With half an hour to go, QPR need to up their game.

    Coventry midfielder Jordan Shipley goes into the book for one too many fouls.

    Coventry 2-1 QPR

    QPR concede possession sloppily and Matt Gooden spots Joe Lumley miles off his line... He goes for it from long range... But his ambitious effort drops wide.

    What was Lumley doing there? It was almost a gift for a third goal.

    Coventry 2-1 QPR

    Just a few minutes before half-time, Coventry fell behind, but a few minutes after the break they moved in to a 2-1 lead.

    Not a bad comeback, that.

    Coventry 2-1 QPR

    They look a lot more confident now, the home side, and they're on the front foot.

    It's a corner to the Sky Blues, but QPR head it clear.

    But when Coventry do get the ball, boy do they take advantage!

    Fankaty Dabo's cross from the right finds Callum O'Hare in the middle and he flicks the ball up and finishes really nicely on the half-volley, low past Joe Lumley from close range.

    Coventry 1-1 QPR

    This is familiar from the first half. QPR just spent around 90 seconds passing the ball across the defence, unchallenged, in their own half, without being pressed by the Coventry front men.

    The players are heading back out for the second half at St Andrew's, where Coventry forward Matt Godden's header cancelled out Lyndon Dykes' penalty just before the break.

    The EFL is "as prepared as can be" for the return of supporters to matches, according to the organisation's chief executive.

    Tomorrow seven clubs will pilot crowds of up to 1,000 - the first time spectators have been at men's league games since the Covid-19 lockdown in March.

    EFL clubs lost £50m in gate receipts last season and estimate a £200m loss if there are no fans this season.

    Rugby union and cricket have already had pilot events.

    Off they go for a breather.

    After 40 extremely dull minutes of what felt like a training game, to be brutally honest, as it turns out, two quick goals have set this one up nicely for the second half.

    Well, an otherwise awful half of football has really come to life all of a sudden.

    Much better from the hosts! Ryan Giles dinks a lovely cross to the far post and Matt Godden peels off his marker and his downward header squeezes over the line.

    Joe Lumley will be disappointed he didn't keep that out but Godden's header was powerful enough to cross the line.

    Like Lyndon Dykes, he also has two from two in the league this term.

    Lyndon Dykes

    Straight down the middle.

    After doing the same from the spot on his debut last Saturday, Lyndon Dykes strikes the ball straight down the centre to give himself a second goal is as many Championship games for QPR.

  20. PENALTY TO QPRpublished at 39 mins

    Coventry 0-0 QPR

    It's soft, but it's a penalty. Right on the far edge of the box, with the ball rolling towards the corner flag, Kyle McFadzean clips the back of Bright Osayi-Samuel's heel and the spot-kick is awarded.

    It was a seemingly innocuous moment, but QPR have a chance to take the lead from 12 yards.
