End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME
They have huffed and they have puffed, but QPR crash out of the FA Cup at the fifth round stage. Steve McClaren's side created the better opportunities but they lacked the final touch of quality in attack.
Watford march on to the final eight. They are in the quarter finals and will discover their opponents on Monday night.
90'
There will be FOUR minutes of added time to play! Have QPR missed their big moment?
87'
HOW DOES HE MISS?! Oh my, what a sitter! Freeman's free-kick is controlled by Furlong who fizzes a cross to the far post, and Leistner races in on the slide and misses when it was easier to score!
86'
YELLOW CARD! Doucoure is booked for a foul on Osayi-Samuel.
85'
QPR SUB: A final throw of the dice from McClaren, as Hall makes way for Bright Osayi-Samuel.

83'
QPR have played three games in a week, while Watford have had only the one match to play - and now it's showing. The hosts look out on their feet. The Hornets are edging closer to the quarter-finals.
81'
Groans from the home supporters when QPR move the ball backwards in a decent attacking area.
79'
Watford happy to keep possession as we approach the final 10 minutes of the game. QPR look like they have run of ideas - and energy.
78'
WIDE! Holebas sends a free-kick to the far post to find Kabasele, but the defender can't sort his feet and side-foots it wide.
76'
QPR SUB: After receiving pre-match instructions for at least five minutes, Eberechi Eze comes on to replace Wszolek.
74'
WATFORD SUB: Abdoulaye Doucoure and Adrian Mariappa come on for Gray and Sema, as Gracia looks to protect his side's slender lead.

CLOSE CALL! Deeney looks to be played on by Hall as he receives Gray's pass but just as he's about to slot home Watford's second the linesman raises his flag.
71'
QPR SUB: Tomer Hemed replaces Wells in attack. He has around 20 minutes to get his side back into this contest.

69'
CLOSE! QPR clear the corner delivery but only as far as Cleverley on the edge of the box... but he can't quite over it and his volley is always rising.
68'
Sema is a box of tricks, pulling off a Maradona turn and forcing a corner for Watford. Finally, something for the travelling supporters to shout about...
65'
Wells tries to release Freeman on the left of the penalty area, but gets too much zip on the pass, as another move breaks down. QPR's final ball is lacking tonight.
