Bradford City 1-1 Leyton Orient: Bantams safely into League Two play-offs

Bradford's Andy Cook finished the season as League Two's top scorer with 28 goals

Bradford secured a League Two play-off place with a draw against champions Leyton Orient in front of a club record 22,576 crowd.

The Bantams, who knew a draw would secure a top-seven spot, fell behind to Jordan Brown's well-taken goal but equalised two minutes later through Brad Halliday's deflected volley.

Orient's Aaron Drinan and Bradford's Liam Ridehalgh went close to a winner.

Bradford will play Carlisle United in the play-off semis.

Stockport County, who missed out on automatic promotion to finish fourth, face Salford City.

Bradford's Andy Cook, League Two's top scorer, hit the bar with a looping header in the fifth minute and Romoney Crichlow sent a good opening wide at the University of Bradford Stadium.

Idris El-Mizouni had a shot saved, Jamie Walker hit the side-netting and and Cook was denied by Orient goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux.

Orient took the lead four minutes before the break when Tom James' low ball into the box found Brown, who slotted past Harry Lewis.

But Bradford were level moments later as Halliday's volley from the edge of the penalty area took a hefty deflection to wrongfoot Vigouroux.

Drinan had an effort blocked early in the second half and Ridehalgh's drilled shot was turned away well by Vigouroux after 67 minutes.

The draw took Bradford above Salford and into sixth place in the table.
