After Kasey McAteer replaced Wes Burns around the hour, the Tractor Boys kept the tempo up. McAteer sealed the result with a left footed finish from the centre of the box (85.).

There was a brief delay in the first half for treatment to Philogene.

The Tractor Boys registered 14 attempts with seven on target. Queens Park Rangers had 13 attempts and four on target.

Ipswich finish on 84 points with 80 league goals scored. Queens Park Rangers end the campaign 15th.
