 Port Vale play host to Bradford City this afternoon, looking to lift themselves out of the relegation zone. The home side know that if they get the job done this afternoon, they could be sitting clear of the dreaded drop by tee time today. Incentives certainly. Visiting Bradford are on the hunt for the points too. They currently find themselves on a five match winless run. Port Vale are unbeaten in their last seven league meetings against Bradford at Vale Park. Early opportunity to get the ball in. I fall kindly here. It's stabbed away, shot from distance and it's turned away. Well, an early opportunity for the home side. Well, it has been close to play between these two sides. Four of the last five league games between these two sides have ended in a draw with Bradford winning the other one. Here come Bradford, scampering down the left-hand side and that will be a free kick in a very good position. What can the away side create here? It's taken short, taken quickly. Cross dug out and the goalkeeper just about does enough there. Back in it comes. And away for a corner kick. Port Vale with defending to do. Long throw down the line. There is Nicky Law getting out to the left-hand side. Chance to scamper forward here for James Meredith. Across comes Eagles to try and hold him up and he's done well there, Eagles. Here's Law. Clark out to the left. Nicky done. Might just be opening up here for an opportunity. Here is Law. Might get the strike away. He does. Charge down. Back out it comes. And that is narrowly wide for Bradford. Knocking on the door the away side. McMahon with the throw. There is Billy Clark who sends it out to the left-hand side. There's Meredith. He's always looking to get forward the left back. Has support from Nicky Law. Cullen back to Law again. Bradford looking to try and pick their way through. Brilliantly done. Still going. Chance still on entirely goal. Back in it comes. And that is a whisker wide. Very, very close from Josh Cullen. Not a bad effort at all. Kiko gets it back here. Able to squirm it down the line to Thomas. Jerome Thomas fires it across. Well kept alive and that's a save that needs to be made. Sent high. And it is one for Bradford to try and win back. They have done and it's a no-nonsense ball forward. It might turn into a very good pass. Chance to get in behind. The opportunity now turned away by the goalkeeper. And Nicky Law will look to try and keep this one alive. Now it goes for a throw into Bradford who turned defence into attack in a flash. Here's Law. But Maan wants to chase into the corner. Chance to burst forward and that will be a free-kick in a very good position. And it will be a yellow card as well. Jerome Thomas with it. And he doesn't put up too much of a protest. It is a free-kick in a very good position for Bradford. Chance to whip it in towards a busy penalty area. Good delivery and it's turned home. And it's Vance Law. The Frenchman gives Bradford City the lead. Well it looked a dangerous position for the free-kick and it proves to be so. Maan with the delivery. And Vance Law with the good header. Looking to try and restore parity here. Port Bale, it's clipped in. Paul's here to Thomas who fires it in. Back out it comes. It's bouncing around awkwardly for Bradford who can't get it away. Back across goal again. And that is a whisker away. Port Bale close to the equaliser. Here's Law. Bradford looking to try and work their way down the right-hand side. Snuffed out though by Port Bale. They try and spring and attack themselves. Paul giving away. There is Clark laying it off. Layed off by Charlie Wick. Law. Clark. Against the strike away, Clark. And it had to be turned away. Out for a throw when it goes. Here is Law. Nicely through the midfield. Just ran into a cul-de-sac there, didn't he, of Port Bale defenders? And Port Bale find a way back onto level terms. And it's Bradford with some defensive work here. That's a very good save. Colin Doyle had to make that. A reflex save by him. And Port Bale not far away. Still they come. Clipped ball forward into the corner, and that will be a free-kick. And what can they create here? Played short by Doyle. That's no foul, says the referee. Mark Hay with the referee in a good position. Space to move into here. Eagles driving forward. Looks to get it back instead. Kept alive on the edge of the penalty area. Here's Callum Guy. Sends the ball in. Good defending at the moment. Clipped ball back in. And there is the equalising goal. JJ Hooper. Oh, Port Bale didn't give it up down the right-hand side. And the cross was sent in towards awaiting JJ Hooper, who gets in front of the defender and turns it home. Forward by Eagles. That's an awkward one for the goalkeeper who does well. Colin Doyle under pressure, and he quickly bowls it out. Callum asking a lot there. It will be kept alive, though. That's a good delivery in towards Charlie Wick. Not far away. That was a whisker wide. Ball sent in towards a busy penalty area. Bradford with some defending to do. Port Bale will come again. Here's Callum Guy. Takes the shot on from range. Plenty of venom and pace behind that. Just a little too high. Forward by Callum Guy. Just over 15 minutes' remain of the 90. Bradford working out to the right-hand side. That's a neat ball to keep the attack going. Still going here, down the right. That's very well to dig out across. And it might fall here. Kindly it does. Alex Jones gives Bradford sitting the lead again. And are the away side on course for all three points. Great work down the right-hand side. And Alex Jones at the second bite of the cherry turns it home. Throwing down the line. Time is ticking away for Port Bale. And there we are. It is all three points for Bradford City. It's a brilliant win for them. Vassalot gave them the lead in the first half. Port Bale hit back in the second half through JJ Hooper. But it was Alex Jones with just about 15 minutes' remaining of the 90, who ultimately got the winner. Final score, Port Bale won. Bradford City 2.
