Rochdale 1 - 1 Bradford City

Date published: 30 April 2017

Rochdale didn't make the play-offs but did equal their best ever League One points total, after finishing the season with a draw at home to Bradford City at the Crown Oil Arena.

Alex Jones put Bradford ahead after nine minutes in a first half that was dominated by Dale.

Matthew Lund’s second half equaliser gave Dale hope of pulling off a win, and but for the inside of the post in the final minute they would have done so.

It wasn't to be and Dale finish the season in ninth after Millwall and Southend both won their final games.

Bradford finish the season in fifth place and will play Fleetwood in a play-off semi-final.
