A historic moment for QPR was overshadowed by a dramatic Carabao Cup exit, as 16-year-old Bermudian Kalen Brunson made his senior debut, becoming the club’s second-youngest player ever, in a 3-2 loss to Plymouth Argyle.
A youthful Rangers side looked set for victory at Home Park, leading 2-0 at halftime thanks to goals from Daniel Bennie and Rayan Kolli. However, the Pilgrims staged a stunning comeback with three second-half goals, including a brace from Owen Oseni, to seal their place in the next round.
Brunson entered the fray with just five minutes remaining, making his senior debut at just 16 years old. His appearance writes him into the club’s history books as their second-youngest player ever, a record only surpassed by Frank Sibley in 1963.
