TRIBUJATIM.COM, SURABAYA – MilkLife Strikers closed its work at Singa Cup 2026 with the title of champion in the Girls U12 category.

The team from Indonesia beat 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 because MilkLife Strikers previously lost 0-1 to Selangor FC Academy A in the match the day before. The team coached by Jacksen F. Tiago was able to recover and turn things around in the deciding match.

MilkLife Strikers appeared calm by relying on short passes from the start of the match. Even though Selangor FC Academy A was disciplined in defense, MilkLife Strikers continued to look for gaps to penetrate the opponent’s defense.

These efforts bore fruit in the 9th minute. Nadia S. Azzahra took advantage of the shooting space to fire a volley which aimed at the bottom right corner of the Selangor goal.

MilkLife Strikers increased their lead again in the 20th minute through Adelice Maureen’s goal. The Selangor FC Academy A goalkeeper failed to anticipate her shot 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 reduce the score with a goal in the 37th minute, three minutes before the match ended.

However, MilkLife Strikers was able to maintain its lead until the final whistle sounded. The 2-1 score ensured the title as well as revenge for the defeat the day before.

Jacksen Praises Players’ Champion Mentality

MilkLife Strikers coach, Jacksen F. Tiago, appreciated the players’ response after the defeat to Selangor in the previous match. He assessed that his team were able to maintain focus and show a strong mentality to win 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.
