Bolton edge Bradford in first leg of L1 semi after super Cozier-Duberry strike

Bolton took the lead against Bradford after Amario Cozier-Duberry found the back of the net!

Just like in all the play-off ties we'd seen so far, tension overwhelmed the most part of this first leg.

There were no shots on target in the first half and Billy Sharp sat unimpressed in the Sky Sports studio.

"No one wanted to take the game by the scruff of the neck," the EFL legend said at the break.

But the neck scruff was well and truly taken on the hour mark. Cozier- Duberry, so often the spark for Bolton, picked up an Ibrahim Cissoko cross before cutting onto his left and bending brilliantly into the far corner.

A couple of minutes later it should have been a second for the former Arsenal youngster. He raced through on goal after they won it back high up but his effort agonisingly hit the inside of the post before bouncing clear.

It could have been a truly defining moment in this tie but, with just a single goal separating them, it is all to play for in the second leg.
