Bradford made a winning return to League One after a six-year absence with victory over Wycombe at Valley Parade.
The Yorkshire side got off to an explosive start with two goals in the first 13 minutes.
Antoni Sarcevic, who scored the stoppage-time promotion decider against Fleetwood on the final day of last season, converted from close range after Stephen Humphrys saw two shots saved by Wycombe keeper Mikki van Sas.
Bobby Pointon quickly doubled the home side’s lead with a low drive into the bottom corner from 20 yards.
Wycombe were missing League One player of the year Richard Kone who was left out of the squad after head coach Mike Dodds confirmed they had received “four or five” offers for the striker during the week.
But they improved after the break and Magnus Westergaard missed a huge chance when he shot over from six yards.
Dan Udoh did pull one back midway through the second half but Sam Walker saved late on to deny Bradley Fink and secure Bradford’s win.
