Bradford City vs Gillingham. Sky Bet League Two.
University of Bradford Stadium.
Bradford 1-0 Gillingham
Saturday 6 April 2024 18:05, UK
Gillingham's play-off hopes took another dent with a second defeat in five days in Yorkshire.
Easter Monday's 5-1 thrashing by Harrogate was followed with a 1-0 loss at Bradford.
Jake Turner, who was recalled in Gillingham's goal after nine games out, made a good early block to deny Andy Cook.
But the visitors must have been wondering how they trailed at half-time.
Sam Walker tipped over Oli Hawkins' header from Remeao Hutton's cross before Daniel Oyegoke pulled off a goal-line clearance to deny former Bradford midfielder Timothee Dieng.

Bradford goalkeeper Walker then left Gillingham defender Conor Masterson holding his head in disbelief with a superb reaction save.

Tyreik Wright shot wide and then saw another effort beaten out by Turner, who also pushed Cook's header over the crossbar.
