In the second half, the two teams kept trading attacks. Selangor FC Academy A tried to close the gap and pulled a goal back in the 37th minute, three minutes before the end of the match. However, MilkLife Strikers held on to their 2-1 lead until the final whistle, securing the title.

MilkLife Strikers coach, Jacksen F. Tiago, appreciated the players’ response after losing to Selangor in the previous match. He assessed that his team were able to maintain focus and show a strong mentality until they succeeded in winning the championship title.

I applaud the players’ performance today. Yesterday’s defeat did not really affect their mentality. It was proven that today they were able to stay focused and appear dominant in possession of the ball. Personally, I was satisfied with what they displayed throughout the tournament. On the field they were able to show a strong winning mentality even though they lost. Then off the field, their attitude was good and they were able to mix with each other. I congratulate the players, I hope this success will be an inspiration for other children in Indonesia.

From the start, I just wanted to give the best possible performance for the team. That’s why I’m really happy that I was finally able to help the team win and win the MVP trophy. All of this is also thanks to the support of my friends on the team and the entire coaching staff too. Then to my parents at home who have supported me in playing football so far. After this, I will continue to try to improve my game by practicing more actively to hone my skills.
