Yang Min-hyeok (19, Queens Park Rangers) started as a forward instead of a right winger. However, he held his head in his hands after missing a good opportunity.

QPR drew 1-1 with Bristol City in the 42nd round of the 2024-2025 English Championship (second division) at Loftus Road Stadium in London, England, on the 12th (Korea time).

With this draw, QPR remained at 50 points (15 wins, 9 draws, 18 losses) in 15th place. Bristol was in 5th place with 64 points. For QPR, the draw at home is somewhat disappointing, but it was not a bad result against a top team.

Yang Min-hyeok started as a forward. QPR began with a 4-3-3 formation. Yang Min-hyeok, Saito Goki, Nicholas Madsen, Karamoko Dembele, Jack Colback, Jonathan Banan, Harrison Ashby, Ronni Edwards, Liam Morrison, Jimmy Dunne, and Paul Nardi comprised the best 11.

QPR took the lead first. Yang Min-hyeok's pass was the starting point. In the 21st minute, Yang Min-hyeok escaped defensive pressure and passed the ball backward. Madsen crossed it, and Dembele rose high to finish with a header.

Bristol brought the game back to square one. In the 30th minute, Max Bird delivered a precise through ball between the defenders. George Arty, breaking into space behind, scored the equalizer with a quick shot.

Yang Min-hyeok swallowed his disappointment. In the 15th minute of the second half, Goki stole the ball on the left side of the box and delivered a cutback pass. Yang Min-hyeok fell as he tried to connect with the ball but could not strike it properly. He lay there, feeling regret.

Yang Min-hyeok, who excelled in an unfamiliar position, diligently moved between the center and right to find a breakthrough in the attack.
