Yang Min-hyeok (19, Queens Park Rangers) started the match but did not record any attacking points.
On the 5th (Korea time), QPR drew 0-0 against Cardiff City in the 40th round of the 2024-2025 England Championship (second division) at Loftus Road in London.
With this draw, QPR remains winless in the league for seven consecutive matches. They are currently struggling with two draws and five losses in their recent games, remaining in 16th place with 46 points from 11 wins, 13 draws, and 16 losses. The gap with the lower-ranked teams is not large, which raises the possibility of getting embroiled in the relegation battle.
Cardiff, who faced QPR that day, is in an even bigger crisis with 41 points (9 wins, 14 draws, and 17 losses), sitting at 22nd place.
Yang Min-hyeok started the match. After leaving a strong impression in his debut match against Stoke City by scoring his first goal after coming on as a substitute, he got a starting opportunity this time. He played as a right winger in the team's 4-2-3-1 formation.
Yang Min-hyeok performed for 61 minutes until being substituted in the 16th minute of the second half. His passing accuracy was 85%. He attempted two shots, but neither connected for a goal. In stoppage time of the first half, he attempted a right-footed shot after receiving a pass from Paul Smith, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper. In the 7th minute of the second half, he aimed for a goal with a header shot but missed the target. He won one aerial duel.

Kieran Morgan replaced Yang Min-hyeok on the field. In the dying moments of the match, Karamoko Dembele had a decisive opportunity, but it did not lead to a goal.
