TRIBUNJABAR.ID – A balanced record was recorded by the MilkLife Kickers Squad at the Singa Cup 2026 event, Thursday (5/11), at The Arena, Woodleigh, Singapore.
Of the two matches played, Timo Scheunemann’s squad achieved one win and suffered one defeat.
The victory was achieved over the Australian representative, South Coast Baptist College with a score of 13-0, while the second match ended in a narrow 0-1 defeat to the host Lion City Sailors.
In the first match, Albianca Raula and Garneta F. Imelda stood out by both scoring hat-tricks. Garneta scored goals in the 10th, 12th and 31st minutes, while Albianca scored goals in the 14th, 15th and 28th minutes. Anisa T. Sholica also contributed two goals with a brace in the 18th and 46th minutes.
The other five goals were scored by Askara S. Fahilah (37’), Rere Z. Farza (41’), Ananda N. D. Berlian (43’), Riyanti S. Suryani (44’), and Giada Soebianto (45’). This series of goals ensured that MilkLife Kickers achieved a landslide victory 13-0 in the opening match.
The second match against Lion City Sailors was tighter. Duels for the ball occurred several times in various areas of the field. The host representative’s defensive discipline was a challenge for MilkLife Kickers who had difficulty developing their game.
Lion City Sailors finally managed to open the scoring in the 23rd minute through Madeliene who met a cross from the left side of the MilkLife Kickers defense. This goal was the only goal in the match and ensured a 1-0 victory for the host representatives.
MilkLife Kickers coach, Timo Scheunemann, appreciated the performance of his team on the first day. Even though they did not succeed in winning the second match, Timo assessed that the players were able to adapt to a number of challenges while taking part in Singa Cup 2026, including facing opponents who were of a higher age range.
I saw that they were able to quickly adapt to the 11 against 11 scheme. At MilkLife Soccer Challenge, they are used to playing 7 against 7 in the regional phase and 9 against 9 at the All-Stars stage. The players also managed to carry out the instructions I gave them, namely building attacks through a combination of passes. Another thing that I have to appreciate is that they competed against opponents who were two years older than them. So, this is good for the players’ mental training.

MilkLife Kickers player, Janeeta Alodya, admitted that there were still a number of things that needed to be improved after playing two matches on the first day. However, the player who is familiarly called Anet admitted that she was happy to gain experience competing against teams from other countries.
“Actually, our game was good today. But there are several things that still need to be improved. Today was quite challenging, especially the second match against the home team,
Bakti Olahraga Djarum Foundation representative and MilkLife Soccer Program Director, Teddy Tjahjono, also appreciated the development shown by the players. He said that MilkLife Kickers’ participation in Singa Cup was part of an effort to provide opportunities to compete at international level for the best players from MilkLife Soccer Challenge’s coaching.
Just like what we did yesterday with MilkLife Strikers in the U12 category, MilkLife Kickers’ participation is also a form of our effort to provide the best opportunities to the best players from MilkLife Soccer Challenge All-Stars. The goal is simple, we want to ensure this level of development continues at every age group level. Today, the players gained valuable experience by facing teams from Australia and Singapore. Seeing their performance today, I am optimistic that the players will continue to develop in a better direction.
