The early strike ignited a fiery determination in the Garuda Pertiwi, who continuously pressed the Singaporean defense throughout the first half.
indonesia’s dominance culminated in a spectacular goal just before halftime. Reva Octavianti unleashed a masterful kick from beyond the penalty box, sending the ball whizzing into the corner of the net.
"I did not!" exclaimed Reva,djang

The second half witnessed the Indonesian defense, anchored by the formidable duo of Gea Yumanda and Shafira Ika, successfully thwarting every Singaporean advance.
The final whistle confirmed Indonesia’s 2-0 triumph, securing their place in the championship match against Cambodia – a fitting reward for a team hungry for victory.
