QPR’s friendly in Berlin abandoned after 13 minutes

QPR’s pre-season friendly against FC Union Berlin was abandoned after 13 minutes because of torrential rain.

The conditions led to the referee taking the players off the field and twice suspending play before it was decided that the match would not resume because the pitch was unplayable.

Rangers, whose pre-season campaigns have been blighted by various problems over the last decade or so, were playing the first of a two-game visit to Germany.

They are due to play Lokomotive Leipzig on Sunday.
