Anthony Charles scored in the second half to help Aldershot beat Bradford and keep alive their play-off hopes.
The former Barnet centre-back stayed forward following a 54th-minute corner and found space in the box to fire in.
James Hanson came close to scoring for Bradford in the first half when his header was saved by Stephen Henderson, with Mark McCammon also going close.
After Charles scored, Danny Hylton forced Matt Glennon into a double save, while Damian Spencer fired over.
Aldershot manager Kevin Dillon told BBC Surrey:
"It was a very good, solid performance. The team were together and they looked very competitive tonight.
"I thought the back four looked nice and solid. I'm pleased with the crowd and the reaction the keeper [Stephen Henderson] got. He made a couple of good saves for the team.
"I sensed a different mentality on Saturday. Tonight I thought everyone was together again, the dressing room was solid. They went out as a team, they stuck together and they came in as a team. That was nice to see."
