West Ham United missed an opportunity to temporarily move to the top of the English Championship table on Friday, drawing 1-1 at home against QPR in the ninth round of matches. The Hammers, who had drawn their previous game 2-2 after trailing by two goals, hoped for a win to secure the league lead but faced a tough opponent. QPR took the lead in the 18th minute with a penalty converted by Nicolas Madsen after a foul on Paul Smith, who was a standout performer for the visitors.
Israeli player Manor Solomon was moved to a more advanced role behind the strikers in the second half to create more attacking plays. While Solomon made some effective contributions on the wings, he was substituted in the 68th minute as part of a double change by manager Nuno Espírito Santo. Jarrod Bowen eventually scored the equalizer for West Ham in the 70th minute, preventing a home loss, but the team could still lose second place in the standings depending on other results.
In the German Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund suffered a dramatic 2-2 home draw against Werder Bremen, squandering a late lead. Dortmund, who had a perfect record coming into the match, took the lead in the 80th minute through Daniel Svensson and doubled it five minutes later with a goal from Nico Schlotterbeck, seemingly securing the win. However, Werder Bremen staged a late comeback, with Ljudevit Reis pulling one back in the 83rd minute and former Dortmund player Niclas Füllkrug scoring a stunning equalizer in stoppage time, leaving the home crowd stunned.
Other results from Friday included Lens defeating Lyon 2-1 in France and Malaga drawing 1-1 with Espanyol in Spain.
