Hosts QPR found themselves 2-1 down in the game and launched an offensive onslaught. Their persistence should have paid off when Sam Field surged forward to meet a cross. His header seemed destined to breach the West Brom defence and level the scores, but for Kipre, who made a dramatic intervention.

Replays revealed a startling truth – Kipre had used his left hand to divert the ball's trajectory, executing a remarkable save reminiscent of a goalkeeper's reflexes. Despite the clear infraction, referee Geoff Altringham failed to detect the handball, allowing play to continue uninterrupted. Astonishingly, neither the QPR players nor the match officials registered any protest or appeal for the clear rule breach, resulting in Kipre escaping what would typically warrant a red card for preventing a goal through illegal means. The game ended 2-2, with field eventually getting on the scoresheet against his former club.

When QPR boss Marti Cifuentes was asked after the match if he had spotted the handball, he said: "I saw that they were playing with two keepers, so yeah! We had enough chances to win the game. In some games, some decisions have not been on our side, but we cannot control that. To expect that we should have achieved the target with two penalties – it will be the wrong approach. We need to make sure that today if we were to play against two keepers we need to make sure, we are better. So I will not complain about refereeing because it is a very difficult job. And hopefully, we will have another mistake on our side to balance the bit. "
