The young Indonesian squad, MilkLife Kickers, started their steps at the international event Singa Cup 2026 at The Arena
JABAR EXPRESS – The young Indonesian squad, MilkLife Kickers, started their steps at the international event Singa Cup 2026 at The Arena, Woodleigh, Singapore, Thursday (5/11), with an impressive record. Of the two Group A matches in the Girls U14 category played, the Timo Scheunemann squad succeeded in picking up one landslide victory and swallowing one narrow defeat.
13 Goal Party Silences Australian Representative
In the opening match, MilkLife Kickers appeared fierce when facing the Australian representative, South Coast Baptist College. Without mercy, the young Garudas hit their opponent with a fantastic score of 13-0.
The two pillars of the attack line, Albianca Raula and Garneta F. Imelda, performed brilliantly, each scoring a hat-trick. Garneta found the back of the net in the 10th, 12th and 31st minutes, while Albianca followed with goals in the 14th, 15th and 28th minutes. Another sharp striker, Anisa T. Sholica, also completed the party with a brace (18th and 46th minutes).
The goal party was even more perfect thanks to the contribution of five other players, namely Askara S. Fahilah (37′), Rere Z. Farza (41′), Ananda N. D. Berlian (43′), Riyanti S. Suryani (44′), and Giada Soebianto (45′).
Fierce Against the Host, Falling Narrowly 0-1
In contrast to the first match which went smoothly, the second match against the host representative, Lion City Sailors, presented a tough test for MilkLife Kickers.
Tight duels with high intensity were presented on various fronts. The strict defensive discipline of Singapore’s representatives made it difficult for Timo Scheunemann’s boys to develop open play. Disaster struck in the 23rd minute when Madeliene successfully took advantage of a cross from the left side of the Indonesian defense. This single goal was the difference and forced MilkLife Kickers to admit the hosts’ narrow lead with a score of 0-1.
Appreciation of Coaches and Management
MilkLife Kickers Head Coach, Timo Scheunemann, continues to have high appreciation for the mentality and struggle of his team. He believes that the transition from the 7v7/9v9 format in Indonesia to the full 11v11 format can be passed quickly by young players who even have to face opponents two years older.
They can quickly adapt to the 11 against 11 scheme. Apart from that, competing against opponents who are two years older than them is certainly very good for training the players’ mentality.
