Tranmere caused a surprise upset by defeating Bradford 1-0 in a match where Bradford was aiming for promotion. The victory marked Tranmere's first win on the road in five months.
Josh Hawkes secured the win with a penalty goal at Valley Parade, continuing Tranmere's unbeaten streak under interim manager Andy Crosby.
Despite Bradford having won their last 10 home games, they failed to capitalize on the opportunity to equal Walsall's points at the top of the table.
Richie Smallwood, the captain of the home team, came close with a long-range shot, while George Lapslie narrowly missed with a headed effort.
Even though Brandon Khela's attempt from outside the box was close, Bradford could not find the breakthrough goal.
Just before halftime, Jamie Walker appeared to have scored, but Tranmere's goalkeeper Luke McGee made a crucial save with his leg.
Tranmere's attacking opportunities had been limited, with Kieron Morris' hopeful effort being their only notable chance until Hawkes converted the decisive penalty in the 56th minute after Harvey Saunders was fouled by Jack Shepherd.
The match was paused for 12 minutes due to a medical emergency involving a fan.
Tranmere managed to maintain their lead to secure their first away victory since defeating Bromley on October 19th. This win came after a string of poor results, with Tranmere only managing to secure one point in their last 11 matches.
