The Premier League Cup clash between Queens Park Rangers U21 and Burnley FC U21 ended in a decisive 2-0 victory for the home side. The game was marked by Queens Park Rangers' effective use of their scoring opportunities and their ability to maintain discipline in critical phases of play. Despite an even distribution of corner kicks, with QPR having six and Burnley five, it was the home team's conversion rate that made the difference. Both goals came in the second half with well-timed finishes, highlighting QPR's ability to capitalize on sustained pressure.

Burnley, on the other hand, struggled to break down the QPR defense and failed to find the back of the net, hampered by a high line of defense that caught them offside once. Their single yellow card in the first half did not help as much tactically, whereas QPR's relatively high tally of four yellow cards indicated a more aggressive and, at times, risky style of play. However, despite the aggression, QPR managed to avoid any red cards, which could have been detrimental.

The standout factor was QPR's teamwork and coordination in the second half, as they adjusted their approach to exploit spaces left open by Burnley. The first goal, timed at 01:15:21, broke the deadlock and spurred the home team to step up their game. Burnley’s lack of significant offensive pressure coupled with QPR's disciplined defensive strategy, as marked by their clean sheet, played a central role in the match outcome. This disciplined approach, combined with effective strategic substitutes, steered them to a comfortable victory and left Burnley with limited avenues of attack.
