Bradford book play-off place with point against champions Leyton Orient
Posted Monday, May 08, 2023 by PA
Bradford booked their place in the League Two play-offs with a 1-1 draw against champions Leyton Orient.
Right-back Brad Halliday scored his first goal for over two years to earn the point they needed after Jordan Brown had put the visitors in front.
The point secured sixth place for Mark Hughes’ side and they will play Carlisle in the play-offs.
Bradford went close after four minutes as Andy Cook’s looping header was tipped on to the crossbar by Lawrence Vigouroux.
Romoney Crichlow stabbed wide from Sam Stubbs’ flick-on, Jamie Walker fired into the side-netting and Vigouroux again saved well from Cook.
But it was Orient who struck first after 41 minutes when Bradford failed to deal with a corner before Brown swept home from 10 yards.
The home side’s response was rapid. Just three minutes later they were level as Halliday’s volley took a heavy deflection beyond Vigouroux.
Shadrach Ogie shot just over for Orient before Vigouroux was again in action to keep out Liam Ridehalgh’s drive as the game ended level.
