In week 2 action, Queen's Park Rangers were looking to register their first ever back-to-back win out of the gate.
Korean Gunners were fresh off a generous win over their opposition, and were looking to continue that streak.
The first half saw QPR create very little in terms of scoring opportunities, with trouble constructing game play.
Gunners on the other hand created a few, most notably an attempt from point-blank which Pasternak kept out with his instinct.
Lady luck wasn't on QPR's side as muscle injuiries sidelined the Fasano brothers at half, and the rainy weather didn't help QPRs technical players, whose passes skipped or ran off the pitch.
Gunners made the game theirs in the second half by opening the scoring off of a header that lobbed over Pasternak, and doubling the scoring shortly after with a blast that the QPR keeper couldn't punch out. 2-0 Gunners.
With their backs against the wall, QPR's best moment in the game came. Jasiolek won a ball in the Gunner box, turned around and blasted it to the keeper's right to make the score 2-1.
QPR pushed hard to level the score but chances by Fazli and Jasiolek were blocked by the opposing keeper. The all-out-and-attack approach by QPR eventually led to a Gunner counterattack and their third and final goal.
"In this division we have a lot of sides like Korean Gunners: skilled, physically prepared, and tactically aware. We are no pushovers, held our own for a while and should have done better in the end. Looking forward to our next match against Blazing Cannons the worst thing we can do is assume that we're owed a win: they'll be hungry and looking to avenge the defeat that we inflicted on them in Week 1", said captain Fasano after the match.
