The visitors made the perfect start when they took the lead on 5 minutes. The ball was played forward to Tyson Pollard on the left edge of the box and he managed to find the space to shoot past Mike Dangerfield and into the far corner of the net to make the score 0-1.

The home side were not behind for long and equalised 2 minutes later. The ball was played down the left to Jack Sell who perfectly picked out Man of the Match Jay Murray on the right edge of the box with Jay cutting into the box and taking his time to pick his spot and place a left-foot shot past Dan Worton and into the net to make the score 1-1.

A foul on Jack Sell on 15 minutes saw Clevedon awarded a free-kick 20 yards from goal and Archie Ferris stepped up to curl the ball around the wall and narrowly wide of the far post. 9 minutes later the visitors created a chance when Charlie Walton's cross was headed over by Charlie Maddison.

A ball down the right in the 32nd minute found Jack Witcombe who cut into the box and crossed to the far post where Dean Griffiths could only shoot into the side-netting. 4 minutes later and a speculative shot from the edge of the box was pushed away by Mike Dangerfield but straight to Tyson Pollard who with the goal at his mercy only managed to shoot straight into the arms of the relieved keeper.

Visiting skipper Lee Davidson played the ball forward on 39 minutes where a quick 1-2 between Matt Morris and Tyson Pollard saw the latter shoot straight at Mike Dangerfield.

The final action of the half in the 1st minute of stoppage time saw Jack Witcombe's cross from the right find Charlie Walton at the far post and he headed the ball back across the face of goal where luckily there was nobody in a grey shirt to apply the finishing touch and soon after the referee blew the whistle for the break with the teams heading in all square.

Bradford had the chance to take the lead on 53 minutes when a high ball caused problems in the Clevedon box with the ball eventually falling to Charlie Walton who could only smash the ball into the side-netting. A minute later Clevedon skipper Callum Kingdon put the ball through for Jack Sell for a run at goal and Jack's firmly hit left-foot shot went straight at Dan Worton.

The visitors re-took the lead in the 56th minute. The ball was played into the Clevedon box and as Mike Dangerfield came out to punch the ball clear Dean Griffiths got to the ball first and back-headed the ball over the keeper and into the net to make the score 1-2. 3 minutes later and Bradford scored again.

Clevedon's attempts to get back into the game were made more difficult on 78 minutes when loan signing from Newport County Tom Wright was sent to the sin bin for 10 minutes for disputing the referee's decision.

With their numerical advantage Bradford pushed forward looking to extend the lead and in the 84th minute the ball was crossed into the box for Sean Keets to head goal-wards and force Mike Dangerfield into a good save.
