QPR 1-0 Millwall
Gary Waddock celebrated his first game as QPR caretaker manager with a deserved win over 10-man Millwall thanks to Marc Nygaard's goal.
Nygaard scored in the 56th minute, tapping in the rebound after his header from Gareth Ainsworth's cross had been saved by Lions keeper Andy Marshall.
The hosts should have made sure of victory on 74 minutes but Marcus Bignot fired wide from eight yards.
Millwall's dismal day ended with Alan Dunne's dismissal for a second booking.

QPR caretaker boss Gary Waddock:
"It was a great start. The manner of the way we played was encouraging for the future.
"I was with the club from 1979-87 and again from 1991-92, so to become manager is fantastic.
"I think I could have taken over one of the stands if I had given tickets to all the family and friends that wanted to come today."
Millwall manager David Tuttle:
"The boys are very deflated, because they think they are getting relegated and their confidence is low.
"It was a poor performance. We had a game-plan, and we didn't stick to it. We remain desperate to bring in an experienced forward on loan.
"After every game we say we need an attacker, but we haven't managed to make it happen."
