Bradford 2–0 Peterborough

Macauley Gillesphey put Bradford ahead inside the first quarter of an hour, heading home in the 13th minute to settle the nerves early in this League Cup tie. Peterborough never found an answer, and Adam Phillips sealed it in the 67th, turning a slim lead into a comfortable 2-0 win for Bradford. Two different goalscorers, two different moments, one-way traffic from there. Neither side features T. Barry, the division's current top scorer with three goals, but this was never about the league's big names; it was about Bradford doing the ordinary things well, a early header, a composed finish, and Peterborough failing to lay a glove on the game after going behind. For a League Cup fixture, it had a tidy, professional shape to it, Bradford controlling the tempo once Gillesphey broke the deadlock and never looking troubled after Phillips doubled the advantage. Watch how Gillesphey ghosts in at the near post to open the scoring, then see Phillips' 67th-minute strike that put Peterborough out of reach for good.
