Bradford City and AFC Wimbledon played out a hard-fought goalless draw at Valley Parade.

Tyreik Wright fired a half-volley straight at Wimbledon goalkeeper Owen Goodman before the visitors blew a good chance when James Tilley fired over after Omar Bugiel had found him unmarked in the box.

Bradford produced some neat build-up play but could not break down Wimbledon’s defence.

Their best opportunities both fell to centre-half Cheick Diabate.

Goodman pulled off a comfortable save from his header and then turned away a fierce shot from the defender right on half-time.

Tilley played Matty Stevens through on Bradford’s goal, but Alex Pattison tracked back to block, and Stevens then had an effort ruled out for offside.

With Wimbledon posing more of a threat, Tilley had a shot blocked by Jack Shepherd before Goodman was tested again by Richie Smallwood.

And the visitors were unlucky when Myles Hippolyte’s shot hit a post, ran along the line and bounced against the other post and somehow stayed out.

Joe Pigott then headed on top of the bar as Wimbledon again went close to a breakthrough.
