Singapore (beritajatim.com) – MilkLife Strikers successfully won the Singa Cup 2026 Girls U12 category after beating Selangor FC Academy A with a score of 2-1 in the final at The Rainforest Hub, Singapore, Tuesday (3 November 2026).

This victory felt special for MilkLife Strikers. Because, the team from Indonesia managed to avenge their 0-1 defeat to Selangor FC Academy A in the match the day before.

MilkLife Strikers appeared calm from the start of the match by relying on a short passing game. Even though they faced disciplined resistance from Selangor, their efforts to dismantle the opponent’s defense finally paid off in the 9th minute.

Nadia S. Azzahra opened MilkLife Strikers’ lead with a volley that aimed at the bottom right corner of Selangor FC Academy A’s goal. This advantage made MilkLife Strikers even more confident. The continued pressure produced another goal in the 20th minute. This time, Adelice Maureen managed to get her name on the scoreboard after her shot failed to be anticipated by the opposing goalkeeper.

The 2-0 score lasted until the first half ended.

Entering the second half, both teams launched attacks on each other. Selangor FC Academy A tried to catch up and managed to reduce the score to 2-1 with a goal in the 37th minute.

However, MilkLife Strikers was able to maintain its lead until the final whistle sounded. These results also ensure that the 2026 Singa Cup champion title in the Girls U12 category belongs to the Indonesian representative.

MilkLife Strikers coach, Jacksen F. Tiago, appreciated the mentality of the players who were able to recover after losing to the same opponent in the previous match.

According to him, the players were able to maintain focus and show dominance in possession of the ball throughout the final match.
