Substitute Shabazz Baidoo struck in stoppage time to rescue a point for QPR against Leeds.

The visitors looked to have the points sewn up when Geoff Horsfield scored with eight minutes remaining, but Baidoo's near-post finish earned a much-needed point for the Londoners.

His goal capped a frenetic final 10 minutes. A minute before Horsfield's goal, Martin Rowlands had scored a penalty for QPR to cancel out Eddie Lewis' opener.

But Baidoo's effort ensured Rangers are off the mark in the Coca-Cola Championship, while Leeds have four points from two matches.

QPR began their season with a defeat at Burnley, but they started this match with purpose and conviction, and created a number of early chances, but Adam Czerkas - making his home debut - Gareth Ainsworth and Lee Cook failed to take them.

After a ponderous opening 20 minutes, Leeds began to find their rhythm, and David Healy should have given them the lead in the 19th minute when Horsfield nodded Lewis' left-wing corner into his path, but he shot weakly at Paul Jones from only six yards.

Jones again kept his team level in the 32nd minute with an excellent point-blank save from Steve Stone, who had latched on to another Horsfield knock-down following Stephen Crainey's long throw.

Rangers were looking shaky in defence, and 10 minutes before the break, Lewis beat Marcus Bignot and cut the ball across the face of the goal from the left - only for the unmarked Gary Kelly to hammer the ball into the home fans from just eight yards.

Jones continued to thwart Leeds. After home debutant Damion Stewart had been booked for a foul on Eirik Bakke 22 yards out, the Welshman made another fine stop from Lewis' curling free-kick.

Leeds looked the likelier scorers early in the second half, and Healy saw another shot blocked on the hour mark after Paul Butler had headed Lewis' free-kick across goal.

But seconds later, Leeds had Crainey to thank for a superb defensive header that prevented Ainsworth reaching Cook's cross.

The visitors finally went ahead when Healy headed Stone's right-wing cross against the bar and, after Rangers had failed to clear, Lewis volleyed in the loose ball from six yards.

Nine minutes from time, Rangers thought they had earned a draw when Rowlands beat Tony Warner from the penalty spot after Crainey had fouled Ainsworth - but Leeds immediately pushed forward, on-loan striker Horsfield collecting Stone's pass before steering a shot into the bottom-right corner for his first Leeds goal.

With the 90 minutes up, Ainsworth hooked Cook's left-wing cross back into the danger zone, and Baidoo was there to score from a yard.
