Wales' men suffered a 3-2 defeat by Korea in their second game at the FIH Nations League in Malaysia, while in Poland Wales' women opened their Nations League 2 campaign with a 3-3 draw against Italy.

Defeat for Danny Newcombe's men's side In Kuala Lumpur came despite opening the scoring with a landmark Gareth Furlong goal.

Winning his 150th Wales cap, the 33-year-old Great Britain defender reached a century of goals for his country from a penalty corner shortly before the end of the second quarter.

However, Korea hit back with goals from Jihun Yang and Jungjun Lee late in quarter three, then extended their lead through Dohyun Lim with four minutes to go.

Rhys Bradshaw cut the deficit for Wales with 88 seconds to play, but they were unable to force a second draw of their campaign following Sunday's 4-4 draw with South Africa.

Making their debut at the second-tier Nations League, Wales complete their pool fixtures against group leaders France on Wednesday.

After Amy Cradden levelled the scores with a penalty goal, new cap Beth Peers put Kevin Johnson's side ahead at half-time.

Guadalupe Moras tied the scores at 2-2 in quarter three before Millie Holme re-established Wales' lead.

However, a second goal from Brea in the final quarter ensured both sides took away one point from the match.

Wales next play Czech Republic on Tuesday - in Johnson's 100th game in charge - before completing their pool against France on Thursday.
