Robert Page's Wales side prepared for their vital Euro 2024 qualification clash in Latvia with a drab 0-0 draw against South Korea in Cardiff.
The Dragons could not earn what would have been a welcome friendly win to relieve pressure on Page, despite coming closest to scoring a goal.
Substitute Kieffer Moore headed a second-half Chris Mepham cross against the post, but it is now just one win in 13 games either side of a poor World Cup for Wales.
The draw at least earned profit for Sporting Life readers who backed Michael Beardmore's 23/10 pre-match preview tip that the game would end level.
Page had admitted beforehand that the meeting with South Korea was a fixture he could have done without and supporters might feel the same after the goalless draw with Jurgen Klinsmann's team.
Wales' result in Riga on Sunday is crucial for their Euro 2024 qualification campaign and Page's future.
