Non league side Brighouse Town made a scoreline gaffe on Twitter during friendly against Bradford City last night, leaving many fans surprised.
The League Two side started the opening half the more threatening before Myles Hippolyte put one past the Northern Premier League Division One East club from the spot with 20 minutes on the clock.
Despite many close chances for the Bantams to double their lead, they were prevented from doing so by the hosts who managed to keep it at 1-0 down going into the break.
Brighouse Town stated the scoreline to their Twitter followers when the whistle blew for half time.
HT: @brighousetownfc 0-1 @officialbantams

As the players made their way out of the changing rooms and back onto the pitch, the non league side wrote on social media that they were 9-1 up instead of 1-0 down.
Underway: @brighousetownfc 9-1 @officialbantams

Which then lead Bradford City to be rather confused…

The Bantams got their second goal through Hippolyte as he scored another penalty, which then saw some of their fans leg it onto the pitch before making their way back to where they came through, though a smoke bomb was set off.
