Filipe Morais scored a late equaliser for Bradford as they secured a point at home to Colchester.
Striker Chris Porter gave the U's an early lead with a curled effort after being played through by Tom Lapslie.
As the Bantams pushed forward, Sammie Szmodics and Gavin Massey went close to doubling the visitors' lead.
However, after Morais had a shot deflected onto the post, he then latched onto Jon Stead's cross to salvage a draw for the hosts.
