Blazing Cannons 2, QPR 2

On a windy Sunday night, QPR took on their week 1 rivals Blazing Cannons thirsting for another victory.

Things got off to a pretty good start with Kassak seeking the goal from afar in an effort to try to take advantage of favourable wind.

At the 30 minute mark, Guillermo was taken down outside Blazing's box. Dewar stood over the ball and blasted it around the wall and passed the opposing goalkeeper. 1-0 QPR.

With a few minutes left in the half, Fazli won a ball in attack, crossed it over to Yanful who touched through for R. Fasano who slotted in a school boy's goal. 2-0 QPR.

However, the winds of change descended on the OPS team after the break. Blazing Cannons took repeated attempts at goal trying to take advantage of the favourable wind, hitting the woodwork twice in the process.

At the 20 minute mark Pasternak was unable to control a thunderous shot, carried by the wind and allowed Blazing the 1-2 goal.

After missing the 3-1 goal on a few occasions, QPR conceded a dubious penalty, called (of all things) by the linesman. Blazing's forward slotted it in to the right of Pasternak for the 2-2 final score.

"Disappointed in today's result especially after the hot start. We played under unusual conditions today, so it's hard to make heads or tails from today's performance. We need to play a little 'smarter', passing and holding on to the ball a little more and defending fiercely", said Fasano after the match.
