Millwall hold Bradford to reach League One play-off final
Millwall drew at home to Bradford to seal a 4-2 aggregate win and reach the League One play-off final at Wembley.
The Lions, who won the semi-final first leg 3-1, looked to have put the tie to bed when Lee Gregory slotted home.
But Jamie Proctor's prodded effort on the stroke of half-time, City's first shot on target, gave the Bantams hope.
Proctor then wasted a further golden chance moments later, and it proved costly as Millwall held on to set up a showdown with Barnsley on 29 May.
Neil Harris' side were rarely troubled after Proctor twice turned down the opportunity to shoot when excellently placed - and, if anything, they looked the more likely to score again after the break.
Centre-half Byron Webster came closest, sending a header narrowly wide of Ben Williams' post, as the second leg petered out in front of a raucous crowd at The Den.
