Ferreira's goal arrived in the 41st minute and left Bradford trailing at the interval. Powell equalised at 58'58'', then put the hosts ahead at 70'53'', with the second strike completing the turnaround. The final whistle confirmed Bradford's 2-1 win.
The highlights were concentrated in a decisive spell after half-time, but the match's defining stats were the score changes themselves: Newcastle led once, Bradford scored twice, and no further goal altered the result. In short, the summary is of a comeback built around Powell's brace after Ferreira had given the visitors the advantage. Bradford converted that response into an EFL Trophy victory at the Northern Commercials Stadium in Bradford.
