AFF Women’s Cup
Having won the inaugural edition in 2024, Satoru Mochizuki’s side were simply unstoppable in the final after going ahead through Sydney Hopper’s 33rd minute opener.
Laos hopes of a second half comeback did not materialise as Indonesia piled on the pressure with further goals from Isabelle Nottet (48th), Estella Loupatty (56th), Felicia Zeeuw (68th) and Emily Nahon (84th) cementing a dominant win.
In the third place playoff, Singapore were pushed to the limits by Cambodia after Danelle Tan’s opener was cancelled out by Soeurn Vipha’s equalising penalty in the 70th minute.
With the scores unchanged, the tie went to a shootout with Sarah Zu’risqha putting away the deciding penalty to give Singapore a 4-2 win.
The top three teams qualified for the Asean Women’s Championship 2027 while Sheva Furyzcha, Indonesia’s 22-year-old midfielder, was crowned the Most Valuable Player of the tournament with teammate Laita Masykuroh picking up the Best Goalkeeper award.
Tan - who struck four goals in the tournament - landed the Top Scorer award.
