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.
RADARSEMARANG.ID, SINGAPORE – MilkLife Kickers had to settle for ending their Singa Cup 2026 Girls U14 campaign as runners-up. Despite collecting nine points from three perfect wins, the Indonesian representatives could not take the title after losing on goal difference to hosts Lion City Sailors.
That was settled after Lion City Sailors crushed Australia’s South Coast Baptist College 9-0 on Friday (6 November). The extra three points and nine goals took the Singapore team to the top of the standings, previously held by MilkLife Kickers.
MilkLife Kickers had impressed throughout the group phase. They began their campaign with a win over Singapore’s BMW, 8-0. The good form continued against Australia’s Fremantle City FC, who were beaten 5-1.
Those results gave MilkLife Kickers nine points from three matches. But that record was not enough to take them to the top. Lion City Sailors had the better goal tally with a goal difference of +32, after scoring 35 goals and conceding only three.
MilkLife Kickers recorded a goal difference of +24, with 26 goals scored and two conceded. Although both sides had three wins, the difference in goals scored decided the title.
MilkLife Kickers coach Timo Scheunemann said the achievement at Singa Cup 2026 is not only about the final position in the standings. He said the experience of playing at international level should help the players keep developing and improving the quality of their play.
Everyone of course wants to win. But more importantly, the experience at Singa Cup can motivate the players to train more diligently and raise their level of play. We are also looking for promising players who can later be developed into the backbone of the national team.
Timo Scheunemann, MilkLife Kickers coach
Timo hoped the players would not be quickly satisfied with the result. Instead, competing against teams from other countries should spur them to keep improving consistently.
MilkLife Kickers forward Albianca Raula also admitted this year’s competition was more intense. Although preparation was relatively short, she felt cohesion and chemistry between the players growing stronger.
