Sophie Ingle continued her international comeback by scoring for Wales in their 1-1 draw with South Korea.

It's been a long road back for the former captain from Llandough, who made only a brief appearance at the Women's Euros in Switzerland after overcoming an ACL injury.

Ingle, who moved from Chelsea to Bristol City over the summer, was handed her first Wales start in more than a year, having been retained on the subs bench in their defeats against Australia and Poland.

And Ingle was quick off the mark in Malaga on Friday night. After forcing goalkeeper Kim-Min-Jeong into an early save, the midifelder was at hand with a point-blank header from Lily Woodham's cross after just six minutes.

But Wales grew increasingly frustrated as a hatful of opportunities - including another header from Ingle - went begging, even with Rhian Wilkinson's side dominating the ball.

Eventually, they were punished when Wales keeper Olivia Clark was beaten by unmarked sub Kim Min-Ji for the equaliser on 68 minutes, thus denying a first win in 2025 for Wales.

Wales round off their winter camp in Spain - and an historic but ultimately difficult year - when they take on Switzerland on Tuesday.

Ingle's goal was her seventh in 145 Wales appearances and follows on from her three goals for Bristol City in WSL-2 - including a brace in their 7-0 demolition of Ipswich Town earlier this month.
