The two matches took place at The Arena, Woodleigh, Singapore, Thursday (5/11/2026). The results on the first day were a valuable experience for the MilkLife Kickers players who appeared in the Girls U14 category.
MilkLife Kickers Beat Australian Representative 13-0
MilkLife Kickers appeared productive when facing South Coast Baptist College in the first match. Two players, Albianca Raula and Garneta F. Imelda, were in the spotlight after each scoring a hat-trick.
Garneta scored three goals in the 10th, 12th and 31st minutes. Meanwhile, Albianca scored goals in the 14th, 15th and 28th minutes.
Anisa T. Sholica also contributed two goals with a brace in the 18th and 46th minutes.
The other five goals were scored by Askara S. Fahilah (37’), Rere Z. Farza (41’), Ananda N. D. Berlian (43’), Riyanti S. Suryani (44’), and Giada Soebianto (45’).
This series of goals ensured that MilkLife Kickers secured a landslide 13-0 victory in the opening match of Singa Cup 2026.
However, they faced different challenges when they met Lion City Sailors in the second match.
The duel was tighter with struggles for the ball taking place in various areas of the field. The defensive discipline of Singapore’s representatives made it difficult for MilkLife Kickers to develop their game.
Lion City Sailors finally broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute through Madeliene. The goal was created after Madeliene welcomed a cross from the left side of the MilkLife Kickers defense.
This goal was the only one in the match and ensured a 1-0 win for Lion City Sailors.
Timo Scheunemann Appreciates MilkLife Kickers Player Adaptation
MilkLife Kickers coach, Timo Scheunemann, appreciated the performance of his team on the first day of Singa Cup 2026.
Even though they did not succeed in winning the second match, Timo assessed that the players were able to adapt to various challenges. One of them is facing opponents with an age range of two years higher.
I saw that they were able to quickly adapt to the 11 against 11 scheme. At MilkLife Soccer Challenge, they are used to playing 7 against 7 in the regional phase and 9 against 9 at the All-Stars stage. The players also managed to carry out the instructions I gave them, namely building attacks through a combination of passes. Another thing that I have to appreciate is that they competed against opponents who were two years older than them. So, this is good for the players’ mental training.

MilkLife Kickers player, Janeeta Alodya, also admitted that there were still a number of things that needed to be improved after playing two matches.
