Queen's Park Rangers were determined to gain their first win of the season, and so it was.
QPR took the field against Division 3 debutants Rye High aggressively, pressing their adversaries deep into their end from the start.
At the 20th minute it was Kasey Ganesh who hammered home the opening goal for QPR, after wreaking havoc on the right flank. From there on QPR controlled game play, hindering Rye High's futile attacks that were met well by QPR's central defenders Roszuk and Zaman.
Toward the end of the first half, QPR goalkeeper Harry Kang turned into Oliver Kahn stopping a Rye High forward, who had freed himself of QPRs defenders and was alone on goal.
In the second half, Rye High tried to increase the tempo but QPR's speedy forwards kept them too occupied, until QPR forwad Ryan Chippy, assisted by Dan Yanful put the game beyond reach with a goal that was as good as State Farm insurance.
"I'm very pleased with the attitude and aggressiveness out there today. We played like we wanted the win from the start and didn't let go until it was ours. This team has fantastic potential and is gaining momentum. We are now 4th, but this is not our habitat: we aim to win this league and will go from strength to strength to achieve our goal", QPR captain Fasano remarked after the game.
