Wrexham striker Paul Mullin was booked for an early foul
Adam Wilson rescued a battling point for Bradford City against Wrexham.
The sides remained locked after a fierce first half that saw five bookings dished out, including one for Paul Mullin after just two minutes.
Bradford went close when Jamie Walker's deflected shot was turned round the post by Dragons keeper Arthur Okonkwo.
Mullin pounced with a sharp header from Ryan Barnett's cross to take the lead, but sub Wilson equalised with a shot in off the underside of the crossbar.
The goal was winger Wilson's first for the Bantams.
The fourth-tier match was played out in front of a bumper 21,552 spectators, including 2,624 travelling Wrexham fans.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said:
"Definitely a hard-earned point. We knew coming here today with a full house it was going to be a feisty encounter, it was fast and furious at times.
"When you go a goal ahead you want to take the three points, but we had to withstand pressure in the second period. I thought the way we defended our box was outstanding.
"Obviously disappointed to concede, but this is a difficult place to come, especially with the atmosphere today and it's another hard-earned point for us."
