QPR 2-1 Barnsley
Fitz Hall struck twice in as many minutes then had a penalty saved as QPR came from behind to beat Barnsley.
Iain Hume put Barnsley ahead after five minutes when he slotted home following good work by captain Brian Howard.
But Hall turned in Emmanuel Ledesma's free-kick after 29 minutes then volleyed home Lee Cook's corner.
Hall's spot-kick was saved by Lee Steele after Darren Moore fouled Dexter Blackstock, before Barnsley's Marciano Van Homoet saw red for fouling Ledesma.
