LC: Watford 1-2 Bradford City

A last minute goal by Garry Thompson pushed Bradford City into Round Three of the Capital One (League) Cup.

Three new faces (Steve Leo Beleck, Ikechi Anya, & Geoffrey Mujangi Bia) up front in a 4-3-3 battered a patient Bradford defence for most of the match and an Anya goal in the 70th minute put the Hornets in the lead, but the Bantams fought back.

Kyel Reid rifled a shot past keeper Jonathan Bond to even up the score with eight minutes left and it looked like the squads would each face their second extra time match of Cup play, but Thompson's late goal left Watford without time to recover.

The next match is Saturday, September 1 at Derby County. Kickoff is at 9:00 am St. Louis time.
