MilkLife Strikers started the competition with brilliant results after defeating the host representative, Lion City Sailors, with a landslide score of 6-1 at The Rainforest Hub, West Coast, Singapore, Sunday (1 November 2026).

In the MilkLife Strikers squad for the U-12 girls category, Adelice is trusted to fill the midfielder position. She is one of the selected players from various regions in Indonesia to gain experience competing at international level.

MilkLife Strikers’ victory over Lion City Sailors was marked by Ika Wonda’s impressive performance. The striker from SD Kristen Manahan Surakarta managed to score a hat-trick in the opening match.

The other three goals were contributed by Locita Waranggani, Keyla Azzahra Putri and Nadia Shakila Azzahra from the penalty spot.

MilkLife Strikers coach, Jacksen F. Tiago, said the victory could not be separated from the players’ ability to maximize opportunities. Apart from that, the competitive mentality is also a concern considering that the players have to face strong opponents from other countries.

I told the children that no matter how small an opportunity they had, they had to be maximized. That’s what they did today. Earlier the opposing team had done high-pressing, from there we managed to exploit the emptiness in their back line.

The experience of competing in Singapore is a valuable opportunity for the players to develop their skills. Moreover, they come from different school and regional backgrounds so they need a process to build unity.

I’m also happy that the players were able to overcome their nervousness on the first day. Moreover, we managed to win against a strong team like Lion City Sailors. For me, them being able to come here and get playing experience is very valuable.

Jacksen added that team cohesion was also a concern during preparations before departure. Because the players come from different school backgrounds and regions.

Before leaving here, the players had made intensive preparations. From the start, we focused on improving the chemistry of the players on the field. As a result, today I saw that they all managed to blend in and appear unified.

SINGAPORE – MilkLife Strikers started Singa Cup 2026 with a convincing victory over the host representative, Lion City Sailors, with a score of 6-1 at The Rainforest Hub, West Coast, Singapore, Sunday (1 November 2026).

The striker from SD Kristen Manahan Surakarta, Ika Wonda, appeared impressive by scoring a hat-trick in that match.

MilkLife Strikers started the match by first observing the opposing team’s game, which immediately applied high-pressing from the start.

However, Ika Wonda and her teammates remained calm and were able to control the tempo of the match by demonstrating short passes. Momentum finally came in the 3rd minute, when Locita Waranggani managed to break through the guard of the opposing defenders to start her team’s goal party.

Locita’s quick goal broke Lion City Sailors’ concentration. Five minutes later, or to be precise in the 8th minute, Keyla Azzahra Putri doubled the lead with a header.

Only one minute after Keyla’s goal, MilkLife Strikers had the opportunity to kick a penalty which was successfully executed by Nadia Shakila Azzahra. In the 10th minute, Ika Wonda took her team further away with two additional goals in one minute. The position lasted until the first half ended.

In the second half, MilkLife Strikers tried to increase their goal tally. However, it was Lion City Sailors who managed to score a goal back through Hana Raiqa in the 23rd minute after only three minutes of the second half. With three minutes remaining, Ika Wonda scored another additional goal to complete her hat-trick on the first day and make it 6-1.

MilkLife Strikers coach, Jacksen F. Tiago, assessed that one of the keys to his team’s victory today was being effective in maximizing opportunities. Not only that, Jacksen also appreciated the mental strength of his players who were not afraid to face one of Singapore’s strong teams.
