Wales did not look like a team in poor form as they caused problems for South Korea from the outset, with goalkeeper Kim Min-jeong making a sharp save to repel Ingle’s drive.<\/p>\n
From the Lily Woodham corner that followed, Ingle headed home from point-blank range with Kim left stranded after just six minutes.<\/p>\n
Wilkinson had made seven changes to the team which began last month’s dispiriting defeat by Poland, the Wales head coach fielding something closer to her strongest line-up in southern Spain.<\/p>\n
Her reward – for an hour – was a much more convincing performance, with Wales’ only frustration in that period being the failure to build on Ingle’s seventh international goal.<\/p>\n
Ingle saw a second header saved, Hannah Cain volleyed wide and Mared Griffiths and Carrie Jones both had decent efforts from just outside the area.<\/p>\n
South Korea only really threatened with one sharp counter before the break, but Gemma Evans saved her team with a fine recovery challenge on former Chelsea star Ji So-yun.<\/p>\n
Wales were on the front foot again early in the second period, with substitute Elise Hughes driving a shot against the post and Jones pulling another big chance across the face.<\/p>\n
Wilkinson must have feared her team would be made to pay for their profligacy, particularly as they lost momentum in an increasingly scrappy contest.<\/p>\n
South Korea’s moment duly arrived when a short corner routine ended with Jang Sel-gi crossing for substitute Kim to head beyond a helpless Olivia Clark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
