Blackpool, boosted by their late win over Barnsley last week, had possessed a lively threat on the counter up to Bradford's breakthrough.
Josh Bowler should have done better after bursting into the box before delivering a weak finish straight at home keeper Sam Walker.
Neufville headed over from Tommy Leigh's cross but Bradford were struggling to break through a resolute Blackpool defence.
Ash Fletcher wasted a dangerous break for the visitors early in the second half - much to the frustration of manager Bruce.
Bradford punished them straight away as Neufville's low drive flew past Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
The Blackpool goalkeeper saved from substitute Alex Pattison's long-range effort and Neufville shot into the side-netting as he continued to cause problems from Bradford's right wing.
