SINGAPORE, MettaNEWS – 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 was also an opportunity for revenge after the previous day they lost 0-1 to the same opponent.

MilkLife Strikers appeared calm by relying on a short passing game from the start of the match. Even though they faced Selangor FC Academy A’s disciplined defense, Jacksen F. Tiago’s team continued to look for gaps to create opportunities.

These efforts bore fruit in the 9th minute. Nadia S. Azzahra successfully took advantage of the shooting space and fired a volley that aimed at the bottom right corner of Selangor FC Academy A’s goal. This advantage made MilkLife Strikers even more confident. They continued to maintain the intensity of their attacks until they finally doubled their lead in the 20th minute through Adelice Maureen’s goal. Her shot failed to be anticipated by the opposing goalkeeper so MilkLife Strikers closed the first half with a score of 2-0.

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 with a goal in the 37th minute, three minutes before the match ended.

Even though they were under pressure in the final minutes, MilkLife Strikers was able to maintain their lead until the final whistle sounded. A score of 2-1 ensured they emerged as champions of the Singa Cup 2026 Girls U12 category.
