Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, who saved from Roberto Ayala and Esteban Cambiasso to set up the shoot-out win, said Germany's past shoot-out success had helped himm.
The budget for "Badlands" was tight and the shoot fraught with difficulties, including a serious on-set accident none of which kept his luminous vision from reaching the screen intact.
The on-loan Chelsea winger was set to shoot but was felled by Carlisle, leaving ref Kevin Friend with little option but to award a penalty and show the defender a straight red.
The win meant that Bradford, whose stadium was hosting its largest crowd since 1960, had set a British record of nine consecutive penalty shoot-out wins.
