Queens Park Rangers 3:2 Fiorentina — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Paul Smyth scored one and orchestrated the midfield as Queens Park Rangers beat Fiorentina 3-2 in a Club Friendly, though with no next fixture confirmed the win stands as a standalone pre-season statement. The scoreline flattered the Italian side, who twice pulled a goal back but never looked like overturning a QPR lead that stretched from the 30th minute to the final whistle.

Nicolas Madsen opened the scoring for QPR in the 30th minute, Boy Kemper doubled the lead nine minutes later, and Arthur Atta pulled one back for Fiorentina just before half-time. Paul Smyth restored QPR's two-goal cushion in the 54th minute, and though Roberto Piccoli replied for the visitors in the 65th minute, the home side held firm without any cards or VAR drama to disrupt the flow.

The match statistics reveal a dead-even contest on possession at 50% each, but QPR's edge in corners—four to two—hints at greater attacking intent in the final third. Paul Smyth was the standout with a rating of 8.55 out of ten and a goal from his midfield position, his movement the key difference on the day. Without a prediction or next fixture to reference, the report ends here.
