Bradford substituted goalkeeper Colin Doyle just three minutes into their Checkatrade Trophy tie, despite him not being injured.
Competition rules mean EFL clubs must field five 'first-team' players in their starting XIs, and the Bantams complied by picking senior goalkeeper Doyle against Bury.
But Rouven Sattelmaier replaced Doyle early on - for some "much needed game time," according to the club's official website - and the change did City no harm as they went on to win the Northern Group C game 2-1 at Valley Parade.
On-loan Newcastle midfielder Haris Vuckic scored Bradford's first, and they were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to Jordy Hiwula's goal.
Tom Walker's reply could not prevent defeat for Bury as Bradford made it two wins from two after beating Stoke U23s in their opening game in August.
