BRADFORD CITY AFC

Leading through a composed finish from Rory McArdle roughly midway into the first half, City were hanging on for the victory as the game ticked into overtime but they were forced to settle for a share of the spoils when Adelakun drilled home into the far bottom corner with just seconds left.

As frustrating as the injury time leveller was for Bantams boss Phil Parkinson and his players though, a point was probably the least Scunthorpe had deserved from the game after a forceful second period performance against the Bantams.

73min: Knott's pass finds Stead in space inside the area but the striker's attempted curler for the far post lacks the neccessary bend and Slocombe is able to gather.

70min: GOAL.....No! Scunthorpe have another goal this afternoon chalked off, this time for offside. O'Neil's low angled drive towards goal is turned in from close range by Madden but the striker is correctly flagged for offside. In fact, both Madden and team-mate McSheffrey looked in offside positions.

52min: The ball is played into the path of the unmarked Luke Williams deep inside the City area but the attacker's rising drive is repelled by Pickford. Neal Bishop fires for goal with the rebound but his drive from just inside the area is blocked away.

49min: Morais is back on the pitch now after missing that previous corner while receiving treatment.

48min: Luke Williams plays his corner delivery out to the lurking McSheffrey but the attacker's drive from outside the box is flashed over the bar as a couple of City players come out to close him down.

46min: Brindley whips in a teasing cross that Pickford has to shovel behind to prevent it from sneaking in at his near post. Pickford has to tip the ball over the bar from the resulting corner, with Morais requiring a spot of treatment on a shoulder injury picked up while City looked to defend the corner.

46min: The Bantams restart the match.

45min: There will be two minutes of time added on at the end of the first half.

42min: Scunthorpe go close when McSheffrey fizzes the ball dangerously across City's six yard box. Madden somehow misses the cross in the middle but right back Richard Brindley picks up the scraps over by the far side before firing goalwards. Jordan Pickford sticks his leg out to stop the ball sneaking in at his near post and City can eventually scramble the ball behind for a corner.

38min: Stead plays the ball across the edge of the box to the waiting Billy Knott but the midfielder's left-footed drive flashes wide of Slocombe's far post.

25min: Madden tries to play McSheffrey in with run on goal with a weighting pass. The ball reaches McSheffrey just inside the box but Meredith uses his strength to keep the Scunthorpe attacker at bay and City can clear.

20min: Jon Stead leaps up to meet Filipe Morais' teasing cross. Stead heads narrowly wide of Slocombe's far post but the effort, even if it had of gone in, wouldn't have counted as the striker was penalised for a push on Boyce.

19min: GOAL....NO! Andrew Boyce rises highest to home head Gary McSheffrey's delivery from the resulting corner but the goal is ruled out for climbing by Miguel Llera on Andrew Davies.

18min: Paddy Madden makes a forceful run towards City's penalty area, leaving a couple of Bradford players in his wake. Madden's run is eventually halted on the edge of the box by a diving block from Rory McArdle as the striker looked to get a strike in on goal. The rebound falls into the path of Luke Williams but James Meredith manages to bundle the ball behind for a Scunthorpe corner.

8min: Billy Clarke's teasing low in-swinging cross into the middle has the attention of Jon Stead but the striker, who has Andrew Boyce for close company, can't quite reach the ball on the stretch as it bounces through to Scunthorpe 'keeper Sam Slocombe.

0min: Scunthorpe kick off the match. City will attack towards the T.L Dallas Stand end in the first period.
