At Bradford, England:
Calvin Zola scored twice (22', 28') while Robbie Weir scored the game winner in the 44th minute as Burton Albion took game one of their two-match playoff series with Bradford City 3-2 on the road.
At Northampton, England:
Roy O'Donovan scored the only goal of the match in the 26th minute as Northampton Town defeated visiting Cheltenham Town 1-0 in the opening match of their two-game series.
Both series will resume this coming Sunday at Cheltenham and Burton upon Trent, with the winners to face off in the promotion playoff final to take place on May 18 at London's Wembley Stadium, with the winner of that match to join Gillingham, Rotterham United, and Port Vale in gaining promotion to League One, which is the third level of soccer in England.
