Bradford City 2:0 Rochdale — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Will Swan struck just before the break as Bradford City beat Rochdale 2-0 in the EFL Cup first round, the forward’s opener setting up a comfortable evening at Valley Parade. The victory was sealed with a second goal midway through the second half, though the tie had been largely one-sided long before the final whistle.

The match turned decisively in first-half stoppage time when Swan found the net at the end of a period Rochdale had shaded on the ball. Bradford doubled their lead in the 67th minute as Aden Baldwin finished from Callum Connolly’s assist, while the visitors’ frustrations showed in yellow cards for Devante Rodney and Dajaune Brown. Rochdale never truly threatened a comeback after that.

The numbers told a brutally honest story for the away side, who edged possession with 51% but managed only nine shots to Bradford’s 21. The hosts’ pressure told in the second half, when they added twelve efforts and two goals, with ten corners dwarfing Rochdale’s two. Will Swan’s rating of 7.5 crowned a fine display from the forward. CheckLive’s model rated Rochdale the stronger side, but the result emphatically contradicted that call, and the live signals backed Bradford throughout.
