JATIMTIMES – Proudly, two female soccer players from Malang were part of the MilkLife Kickers squad which recorded positive results on the second day of Singa Cup 2026 at Tanglin Rugby Club, Singapore, Friday (6/11/2026). The two of them are Garneta F. Imelda and Ananda N. D. Berlian who participated in strengthening the team in the competition for the Girls U14 category in this international tournament.
Garneta’s performance became one of the highlights after successfully contributing two goals when MilkLife Kickers faced Australian representatives, Fremantle City FC. This contribution helped lead the Timo Scheunemann team to victory with a score of 5-1.
Garneta is a student at SDN 01 Tumpakrejo, Malang. Meanwhile, Ananda N. D. Berlian is registered as a student at SDN Lowokwaru, Malang. Both are included in the list of 18 MilkLife Kickers players competing in Singapore.
In the match against Fremantle City FC, MilkLife Kickers fell behind after Ciara Glascott scored a goal in the 13th minute. However, the Indonesian squad showed a quick response through Garneta F. Imelda who equalized the score at 1-1 in the 14th minute.
Then MilkLife Kickers took the lead through Rere Z. Fatin in the 23rd minute. Entering the second half, Rara Z. Farza widened the gap to 3-1 in the 28th minute.
Albianca Raula added to the lead in the 37th minute. This goal was also Albianca’s sixth goal collection throughout the tournament. Then Garneta ensured MilkLife Kickers’ victory to be 5-1 with her second goal in the match.
This positive result complemented MilkLife Kickers’ victory in the previous match. Facing BMW from Singapore, MilkLife Kickers appeared dominant and won 8-0.
In this match, Rara Z. Farza opened the scoring when the match was less than a minute old. Alisa M. Fakhira then doubled the score in the third minute.
Giada Soebianto contributed two goals in the 10th and 18th minutes. Meanwhile, Albianca Raula scored a goal in the 20th minute. Rara again recorded two additional goals in the 21st and 25th minutes, completing her hat-trick.
Then Giada added one goal in the second half. However, the match had to be temporarily stopped due to the sound of the lightning warning system sirens. After a delay of almost an hour, the committee decided the match ended with a score of 8-0.
MilkLife Kickers coach, Timo Scheunemann, appreciated the development of his team’s game after experiencing defeat on the first day. The players began to show better unity and ability to pass the ball, including when facing opponents who had bigger bodies.
Today they were able to play with good ball flow against opponents who were much bigger in stature. Today everyone was also able to play together on the field. Even if we lose but play like before, I’m still happy.
Timo
But I’m grateful that today we were able to win two matches at once. Regardless of our results in this tournament, I’m still proud to see them being able to respond to pressure.

Meanwhile, MilkLife Kickers striker, Giada Soebianto, said increasing cooperation was one of the important factors behind the two wins. All players are increasingly able to carry out the game scheme given by the coach.
Today we are happy to be able to perform well and help the team. Today’s game was quite fierce, but in the end we were able to come back to win because all the players worked hard to appear unified as a team.

I feel that today teamwork has improved, the players can perform according to the scheme directed by the coach. Overall, I am satisfied with my personal performance throughout Singa Cup 2026.
