Antoni Sarcevic gets the only goal for Bradford against former club Stockport

Antoni Sarcevic gets the only goal for Bradford against former club Stockport

Antoni Sarcevic scored Bradford’s winner as they beat his former club Stockport 1-0 at Valley Parade.

A second home win in four days lifted the Bantams above the visitors into fourth place in Sky Bet League One.

The first half was evenly contested between two well-matched teams but there was a lack of quality about the game, with neither able to fashion a real threat on goal.

On-loan Manchester United striker Ethan Wheatley put an early chance over the bar for Bradford and Bobby Pointon almost poked home Sarcevic’s cross.

Stockport’s only opportunity fell to Malik Mothersille but his angled shot lacked the pace to trouble home goalkeeper Sam Walker.

The contest livened up within four minutes of the restart. Stockport could not clear a cross from Lee Evans and the ball dropped to Sarcevic to half-volley past Ben Hinchliffe.

Stockport went close when Isaac Olaofe glanced a header wide as the game became more open.

Keeper Hinchliffe turned away a Jenson Metcalfe shot before Walker preserved Bradford’s lead with a good save from Ben Osborn.
