The Championship match that occurred between Middlesbrough (home team) and Queens Park Rangers (away team) at 14:00 EEST, led to a decisive victory for the latter, with a final score of 0-2. This outcome is solely based on team performance and not extraneous variables, as is evidenced by the statistical data provided.

Despite Middlesbrough’s effort in maintaining possession, as illustrated by their seven corner kicks compared to Queens Park Ranger's five, they were unable to capitalize and score. This insufficient conversion of opportunities into goals proved a significant factor in their defeat.

The deadlock was broken in the first half at the 42:50-minute mark by the Queens Park Rangers, taking the lead 0-1. Their second goal, further solidifying their superior performance, came at the 70:44-minute mark in the second half. Both these goals were the game-changing moments that led to the Queens Park Rangers' 2-0 victory.

Despite each team committing fouls that resulted in a yellow card, there was no significant disparity between the teams. Middlesbrough received one yellow card in the second half at the 77:02-minute mark, while Queens Park Rangers received two yellow cards, the first in the second half at the 50:12-minute mark. These fouls did not result in any red cards, indicating that the offences, though cautionary, did not materially influence the final scoreline.

In conclusion, the match demonstrated the Queens Park Rangers' superior attacking proficiency and efficiency in converting their chances into goals, leading to their victory. Despite the Middlesbrough’s aggressive performance, as indicated by their corner opportunities, their lack of productivity in finding the back of the net was their downfall. It is critical for Middlesbrough to work on converting their opportunities into goals in their future matches to improve their performance in the Championship.
