MilkLife Kickers finished runners-up in the Singa Cup 2026 Girls U14 category, level on nine points with champions Lion City Sailors but behind the hosts on goal difference.

MALANG POSCO MEDIA – MilkLife Kickers had to settle for ending their Singa Cup 2026 Girls U14 campaign as runners-up. The Indonesian team could not hold on to top spot after Lion City Sailors beat South Coast Baptist College 9-0 on Friday (6 November) afternoon.

The win gave the Singapore side nine points and took them to the top. The extra three points and a bigger goal difference decided the race between the two teams in the group phase.

MilkLife Kickers had led the standings on day two, Friday (6 November), after two wins. Timo Scheunemann’s side thrashed BMW 8-0 and beat Fremantle City FC 5-1.

MilkLife Kickers and Lion City Sailors both ended the group phase with nine points from three wins. But MilkLife Kickers dropped to second place on goal difference.

Lion City Sailors recorded a goal difference of +32, scoring 35 goals and conceding only three. MilkLife Kickers finished with +24, scoring 26 and conceding two.

MilkLife Kickers coach Timo Scheunemann stressed that the final position is not the only measure of the team’s success at the tournament. He hoped the experience of international competition would motivate the players to keep improving through training.

When it comes to winning, everyone wants to win. But for me what matters more is that after this Singa Cup the players are more motivated to keep training with focus to raise their level. Only then do we talk about results on the pitch, because what we are really doing here is looking for players with potential to develop later so they can become the backbone of the national team. Hopefully they can keep working diligently to raise their level of play.

The coach, who also took Indonesia’s Garuda Pertiwi to runners-up at the Srikandi Merdeka Cup 2026, hoped the players would not quickly become complacent. He said development and improving individual quality remain the main goals of MilkLife Kickers’ participation in the competition.

MilkLife Kickers forward Albianca Raula said the competition at Singa Cup 2026 was more intense. Although preparation time was relatively short, she saw improved cohesion and chemistry between the players.

This year the games were more intense. As a team, I feel this season we were more together in our play, and the chemistry between us clicked. Even though our preparation was fairly short.

Personally I’m satisfied with the result we got at Singa Cup this year. The experience here motivates me to train harder to become an even better player.
