    Thanks for joining us for what was a decent night's work for Wales, even if they could not find a goal, with Kieffer Moore coming closest when he headed against the post.

    A clean sheet was something to celebrate for Rob Page's side, who did a decent job on a South Korean side whose wait for a first victory under Jurgen Klinsmann goes on.

    And as far as we could tell, there are no fresh injury concerns for Wales going into Monday's key Euro 2024 qualifier in Latvia.

    We'll be back then to take you through that one.

    FT: Wales 0-0 South Korea

    Wales Manager Rob Page told S4C: "I think there's a lot of positives out there. Jordan James was giving his debut start and I thought he was outstanding.

    "We stuck to the game plan and I thought there was a reaction from June so lot's of positives.

    "I thought the way we defended was our identity and that's what I asked of them all week, you can't ask more than that when they react and keep a clean sheet against one of the best strikers in the world.

    "I'm feeling confident for Monday. That's our standard, our benchmark and what got us the point in Croatia.

    "We could have won that game today with the header from Kieffer Moore which hit the bar, we have to defend like that.

    "If we defend well, we've got the quality, we know we have players that can hurt teams.

    "Moore came on at half-time but that was purely to protect Brennan Johnson and the same with bringing off Ethan Ampadu, it was all about keeping players fit.

    "It's all about Monday and thankfully we've come through unscathed."

  3. 'Confidence' for Mondaypublished at 21:45 British Summer Time 7 September 2023

    FT: Wales 0-0 South Korea

    Wales captain Ben Davies told S4C: "I think it was a good performance, a very professional performance.

    "We know the results haven't been what we'd hoped for but to be honest South Korea are a good team and they've had results against teams that are better than us so I'm happy with the performance.

    "This gives us a lot of confidence for Monday, it shows we can compete against anyone.

    "Our confidence has been knocked in the last few games, but we showed a lot tonight."

    Wales head to Latvia on Monday with Rob Page facing some of the toughest selection decisions that he has ever had to make.

    It's one of the most important games he's faced - not just for Wales' qualification hopes, but for his future too maybe.

    No-one seemed to get injured, we kept a clean sheet, and looked encouraging in the second half - a lot better with the inclusion of Kieffer Moore.

    At the end of the day, I think Rob Page will probably take that.

  6. 'Decent night all round'published at 21:36 British Summer Time 7 September 2023

    Some good performances - I think Rob Page will be happy with the likes of Jordan James coming in.

    Nathan Broadhead has done well, Ethan Ampadu as usual has been very solid.

    A lot of good to take from that game, they haven't lost first and foremost.

    A difficult game, difficult conditions and he's got a few players a good run out. A decent night all round.

  7. FULL-TIME - Wales 0-0 South Koreapublished at 21:31 British Summer Time 7 September 2023

    The game ends with a Welsh corner which Kieffer Moore heads over. It's a shame he will not be around for Latvia, which is the big game in this international break.

    Rob Page can be fairly pleased with this game as preparation.

    It is now one win in 13 games for Wales, although this was just the second clean sheet during that run.

    The other shut-out was at home against Latvia.

    The same again in Riga on Monday would be a good start.

    We are into the last minute of normal time and, based on the first half, there will not be much added on.

    Aaron Ramsey finds some space and crosses for Kieffer Moore, but he is stretching and cannot generate enough power to trouble Kim Seung-gyu.

    It feels like the game is coming to an end now.

    The players are just seeing the game out now thinking 'come on ref'.

    Wales open South Korea up as Wes Burns feeds the advancing Ben Davies and he drives into the area before drilling in a cross-shot.

    Kieffer Moore is lurking at the back post, but Kim Seung-gyu makes a diving save.

    Wales almost play themselves into a spot of bother, but Joe Morrell makes an important interception in his own box and then wins a free-kick.

    Wales' fans are still singing about David Brooks.

    Sadly the Bournemouth man has has little possession to work with in the final third since coming off the bench.

    I don't think Rob Page is going to be too fussed with the result as long as everyone comes off the pitch unscathed.

    There's been some good performances - Nathan Broadhead I was very impressed with and how confident he was, he was just missing those final moments.

    Jordan James as well, he was solid.

    The Red Wall in the Canton End have been chanting 'Brooks will tear you apart again' for the last 10 minutes.

    It's been far from thrilling on the pitch, but the hardcore supporters are determined to enjoy themselves in the September heat.

    The official attendance is announced as 13,668.

    South Korea's attacking threat has faded in the second half.

    Jurgen Klinsmann is a little over 10 minutes away from no win in his first five games as their head coach.

    Chris Mepham doesn't look too distressed I think it's just cramp.

    He just gets up a bit too quick and now he's stretching both his calves.

    Chris Mepham still looks a little ginger but he is back on.

    A concern for Wales here as Chris Mepham goes down injured, although it may just be cramp.
