QPR vs. NAFC Origami: Match Recap

The undefeated streak of the Queen's Park Rangers came to an end under Friday Night Lights, falling to NAFC Origami by one goal to nil.

A burning defeat for the Sky Blue, against a weaker opponent who registered the only goal on their sole shot on net.

The game had gotten off to a good start with QPR  controlling game play and producing chances especially from Aziz and Fasano's set pieces.

However, experts say, soccer is made up of episodes. Odd chances that turn into goals is one example. Ejections are another. In fact, early in the 2nd half, QPR's Zaman was sent off courtesy of a second caution, leaving the Sky Blue in 10 men for the remainder of the match.

Despite being down a man, QPR pulled together and played at par until the episode that invariably marked the match - NAFC Origami's goal which came off a counter attack right through QPR's middle.

"I'm gutted about our loss tonight. We have a stronger side but were defeated. We have to want our victory and mean it next time", QPR captain Fasano said after the match.
