Byron Harrison's first Chesterfield goal secured a 1-0 win at Bradford City on Tuesday to move Paul Cook's men into the League One play-off places.
The two sides went into the clash level on 54 points, but Harrison settled the match in favour of the visitors, moving them up to sixth.
Chesterfield looked the brighter of the two teams during the early exchanges, Gary Roberts going close with an ambitious 45-yard effort, before Sam Clucas' volley flew just wide after 24 minutes.
Bradford did come into the contest, though, and Harrison scored on the stroke of half-time.
The forward latched on to Gary MacKenzie's tame headed back-pass and kept his cool to slot in after skipping beyond goalkeeper Ben Williams.
