At least there was no stoppage time? It was a friendly game the Wales manager, Rob Page, confessed he did not really want to play and so perhaps it was inevitable his team would play out a forgettable stalemate in their first meeting with South Korea.

The preface to the match was Wales’s sorry record of late – it is now one win in 13 matches – and if that does not improve in Latvia on Monday, when they resume their ailing Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, the glare will only intensify on the under-pressure Page.
