MilkLife Strikers, Indonesia’s Girls U12 team, opened their Singa Cup 2026 campaign in Singapore with a 6-1 win over hosts Lion City Sailors.
SINGAPORE – An impressive display by Ika Wonda, a forward from SD Kristen Manahan Surakarta primary school, led MilkLife Strikers to a convincing 6-1 win over host representatives Lion City Sailors at the start of Singa Cup 2026 at The Rainforest Hub, West Coast, Singapore, on Sunday (1 November). Ika Wonda scored a hat-trick in the match.
MilkLife Strikers began the match by first observing the game of their opponents, who pressed high from the start. Even so, Ika Wonda and co. stayed calm and controlled the tempo of the match with short passing. The breakthrough finally came in the 3rd minute, when Locita Waranggani got through the opposing defenders to start her team’s goal rush.
Locita’s early goal broke Lion City Sailors’ concentration. Five minutes later, in the 8th minute to be exact, Keyla Azzahra Putri doubled the lead with a header. Just one minute after Keyla’s goal, MilkLife Strikers were given a penalty, which Nadia Shakila Azzahra converted. In the 10th minute, Ika Wonda took her team further ahead with two more goals in one minute. The score held until the end of the first half.
In the second half, MilkLife Strikers tried to add to their tally. Instead, Lion City Sailors scored a goal back through Hana Raiqa in the 23rd minute, just three minutes into the second half. With three minutes left, Ika Wonda scored once more to complete a first-day hat-trick and make it 6-1.
MilkLife Strikers coach Jacksen F. Tiago said one of the keys to his players’ win today was being effective in making the most of their chances. Jacksen also praised the mental strength of his players, who were not daunted by facing one of Singapore’s strong teams.
