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.
MilkLife Strikers coach Jacksen F. Tiago said effectiveness in using chances was one of the main factors in his players’ win.
TRIBUNNEWS.COM – Before their opponents could catch their breath, their net had already bulged three times.
Ika Wonda was the star of the win for Indonesia’s girls’ team, MilkLife Strikers, scoring a hat-trick in a 6-1 thrashing of host representatives Lion City Sailors in the opening match of Singa Cup 2026 at The Rainforest Hub, West Coast, Singapore, on Sunday (1 November 2026).
Ika’s impressive display was one of the most interesting stories on the first day of the early-age football tournament.
The forward from SD Kristen Manahan, Surakarta, showed her sharpness in front of goal and helped her team start the competition with three points.
But the big win was not just the result of one player’s sharpness.
MilkLife Strikers showed effective collective play, especially in exploiting gaps in the defence of opponents who pressed high from the start of the match.
The Indonesian team did not rush to match Lion City Sailors’ fast game. Ika Wonda and her team-mates chose to control the tempo with combinations of short passes before finding gaps to attack.
The strategy paid off straight away in the third minute. Locita Waranggani broke through the opposing defence and gave MilkLife Strikers the lead.
The goal began to unsettle Lion City Sailors. In the eighth minute, Keyla Azzahra Putri doubled the lead with a header.
A minute later, Nadia Shakila Azzahra converted a penalty to make it 3-0.
Ika Wonda then took centre stage. The young forward scored two more goals within one minute in the 10th minute, putting MilkLife Strikers 5-0 up at half-time.
In the second half, Lion City Sailors pulled one back through Hana Raiqa in the 23rd minute. But their attempt to fight back did little to change the situation.
Ika got her name on the scoresheet again in the last three minutes of the match. Her third goal sealed the 6-1 win and completed her hat-trick in the opening match.
