Norwich City Women suffered a second straight defeat at the MATRADE Loftus Road Stadium on Sunday afternoon, a 2-1 loss in Division One south East.
Despite finding an equaliser through Ceri Flye shortly after the opener, the hosts rose to the occasion and netted a late winner to seal all three points.
It was a steady opening 15 minutes for both sides as they familiarised themselves with the grass pitch at Loftus Road, neither goalkeeper being tested early on.
Freya Symonds managed a cross-turned-shot after pressing high and winning City the ball deep into QPR's half, but the effort was collected by Nicole Melling in goal.
The Canaries had a prolonged spell of possession once the clock hit 20 minutes, putting pressure on the hosts to defend but none of their shots could find the back of the net for an opener.
The best chance of the half came from Ellie Bishop, who made a driving run to find Symonds, who in turn tried to set-up Shannon Shaw in the box but Melling was there to block.
Symonds then had a go herself from the edge of the area after a lovely flick on from Holly Kennard, but Melling punched away and City could only earn a corner.
City continued to have shot after shot at Melling, Lauren Tomlinson, Millie Daviss, Symonds and Kennard all having a go but none could evade a blue and white shirt to get a first-half goal.
The second half then got underway and QPR got straight to work, as Grace Stanley collected the ball in the box and rounded Sarah Quantrill to tap home the opener in the 46th minute.
City then stepped up the tempo and after winning the corner then getting the subsequent header to find the equaliser, Flye rose highest from the set-piece and headed home to make it 1-1 10 minutes later.
Flye had the ball in the back of the net once again shortly after but no goal was given when the referee flagged a hand ball in the box.
The centre-back was later forced into action down the other end of the pitch, making an important block to stop a Chambers-Ward shot in a dangerous area.
With just five minutes left on the clock, QPR found a way through from a throw-in deep into the Norwich half, substitute Meila D'Santos netting from close-range to find a late winner.
Norwich City Women are back in action next weekend for round two of the Adobe Women's FA Cup.
