Queens Park Rangers and Leeds United have finished the first half tied at 1-1 in this afternoon's Championship clash at Loftus Road.

The visitors had the chance to go in front on 11 minutes when they were awarded a penalty for Richard Dunne's foul on Ross McCormack, but the attacker saw his effort from 12 yards saved by Robert Green.

However, McCormack made amends just three minutes later as his deflected free kick from the edge of the box found the bottom corner.

Leeds remained in control after going in front, with QPR struggling to make anything happen for themselves in the final third.

Debutant Connor Wickham dragged a tame shot wide with 31 minutes on the clock, while McCormack was denied a second goal soon after when he was thwarted by Dunne.

QPR started to some signs of life towards the end of the half and were rewarded on 44 minutes, as Jermaine Jenas linked well with Kevin Doyle before stroking the ball home.
