QPR Run Out Comfortable Winners at Wiener Neustadt

Queens Park Rangers made a bright start to their pre-season schedule with an impressive performance in Austria. The away side broke the deadlock early when Romain Burrell struck in the sixth minute, setting the tone for what would prove a dominant afternoon. Wiener Neustädter offered little resistance in the opening stages as the English visitors controlled possession and pressed forward with intent.

The visitors extended their advantage when Amadou Sy Mbengue added a second goal in the 30th minute, doubling QPR's lead before the half-time interval. Wiener Neustadt emerged with renewed purpose after the break and pulled one back through Leopold Toifl in the 52nd minute, sparking hopes of a comeback. However, the Austrian side failed to build on that moment, and their attacking threat proved sporadic throughout the second half.

QPR managed the game well in the closing stages despite not adding much to their attacking play. The match remained tense enough until Romain Kone sealed the victory from the penalty spot in the 89th minute, putting the contest beyond doubt in the dying moments. A yellow card issued in the 77th minute proved the only disciplinary action of an otherwise clean-cut encounter.

The comprehensive win gives QPR genuine confidence heading into the new season, with their attacking options looking sharp and their defensive shape solid. Wiener Neustadt will take some positives from their second-half performance despite the heavy defeat. Both sides will now focus on their remaining preparations as the campaign approaches.
