Their pressure told in the 59th minute when Odour halved the deficit for Bradford.The Bantams had been building and pressurizing the Shrimps’ goal. Ciarán Kelly swung a dangerous ball to the far post where Halliday emphatically powered home to give City a more than deserved equalizer, much to the delight of the home faithful to extend Graham Alexander’s charges’ unbeaten run to seven games.NSL 2023: Shabana fanfare, Mathare relegation and revival of enthusiasmThe win lifted the Bantams to tenth on the League Two log with 33 points, three behind the playoff places.Speaking after the match, Bradford coach Alexander was pleased with how his side responded to being down 2-0 at half-time, to battle back and gain a point in a 2-2 draw.“I was pleased with the team’s response. We had a much better performance in the second half. We scored two good goals, and we could have had more. Our second-half performance was miles better than our first-half performance. On another day, we could have grabbed a winning goal, but I have to be pleased with the response the side gave. I was really happy with that. We showed in the second half that we had the confidence to go out and score the goals we did, showing that the belief is high within the side. They believe in each other.” He told the club’s website.Dunga Scores in Hong KongKenya international Ismael Dunga scored a brace for his side Shum Shui in a 4-4 draw against Hong Kong FC in the Sapling League.Dunga has been in good scoring form and his latest strike came at the moment Shum needed it most to rescue an already sinking season, having failed to win a match in the opening nine games.
