English-Ghanaian striker Gideon Kodua made an instant impact after coming off the bench in the 24th minute for Luton Town, but his late goal wasn't enough to prevent a 2-1 defeat at Bradford City.
The match started in Bradford's favor, with Stephen Humphrys firing home in the 33rd minute to give the hosts the lead.
Luton struggled to create clear chances, holding 61% possession but failing to convert it into goals.
Early in the second half, Bobby Pointon doubled Bradford's advantage, leaving Luton Town's comeback hopes hanging by a thread.
