QPR supporters have offered a glowing assessment of Massimo Luongo’s opening day performance as the Socceroo turned on the style in the Rs’ 3-0 win against Leeds United on Sunday evening.
Nedum Onuoha, Tjaronn Chery and Sebastian Polter put the winning touches on Rangers’ convincing 3-0 win over a disappointing Leeds, but it was Luongo’s tireless effort in midfield that impressed those donning blue and white hoops.
Luongo played the perfect box-to-box game, making his presence felt at both ends of the pitch in a 90-minute performance. However it was his contribution to QPR’s second goal that was perhaps the most valuable, cutting out a Leeds counter-attack.

That interception allowed his side to turn the tables on the break, culminating in a spot kick that was easily dispatched by Dutchman Chery. That goal put the result almost beyond doubt for Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s team, with Polter putting the icing on the cake in stoppage time to ensure the Rs started the season in perfect style.
Here’s how the fans saw Luongo’s performance.
