MALANG POST – MilkLife Strikers won the Singa Cup 2026 Girls U12 category after beating Selangor FC Academy A 2-1 in the final at The Rainforest Hub, Singapore, on Tuesday (3 November 2026). The win was also revenge after the Indonesian girls’ team lost 0-1 to the same opponents the day before.

MilkLife Strikers played with confidence, relying on a short-passing game from the start of the match. Despite tough resistance, Jacksen F. Tiago’s team took the lead in the 9th minute through a Nadia S. Azzahra volley that went right into the bottom right corner of the Selangor goal.

The lead made MilkLife Strikers even more confident. Wave after wave of pressure finally produced another goal in the 20th minute. This time Adelice Maureen beat the Selangor FC Academy A goalkeeper to put MilkLife Strikers 2-0 up at half-time.

In the second half, Selangor tried to fight back and increased the intensity of their attacks. The effort produced a goal in the 37th minute, cutting the deficit to 1-2.

However, MilkLife Strikers kept their lead until the end of the match. The result confirmed the Indonesian representatives as champions of the Singa Cup 2026 Girls U12 category.

MilkLife Strikers coach Jacksen F. Tiago praised the mentality of the players, who were able to bounce back after defeat in the previous match. According to him, his players showed positive development both in their play and in their attitude during the tournament.

I salute the players’ performance today. Yesterday’s defeat did not really affect their mentality. It was proven today that they stayed focused and dominated possession. Personally, I am satisfied with their performance throughout the tournament.
