MilkLife Strikers forward Ika Wonda was one of the key players in the win. The player from SD Kristen Manahan Surakarta primary school scored three goals, a hat-trick.
From the start of the match, MilkLife Strikers had to deal with pressure from Lion City Sailors, who applied a high-pressing strategy. But Ika Wonda and her team-mates responded calmly with short passing to control the tempo of the match.
The strategy paid off in the third minute. Locita Waranggani got through the opposing defence and scored the opening goal for MilkLife Strikers.
The Indonesian team’s lead grew in the eighth minute with a header from Keyla Azzahra Putri. A minute later, Nadia Shakila Azzahra converted a penalty to put MilkLife Strikers 3-0 up.
MilkLife Strikers’ dominance became even clearer in the 10th minute. Ika Wonda scored two goals within one minute to extend the lead to 5-0 at the end of the first half.
In the second half, MilkLife Strikers kept trying to add goals. But Lion City Sailors pulled one back through a goal from Hana Raiqa in the 23rd minute.
Ika Wonda finally completed her hat-trick in the last three minutes of the match. The goal sealed MilkLife Strikers’ win with a final score of 6-1.
MilkLife Strikers coach Jacksen F. Tiago said effectiveness in using chances was one of the main factors in his players’ win.
The positive result is valuable capital for MilkLife Strikers as they continue at Singa Cup 2026, and shows the potential of Indonesia’s young women footballers at international level.
