Naturalized player scores, Indonesian women's team wins historic championship

On the evening of December 5, the Indonesian women's team excellently won the 2024 AFF Women's Cup championship after a 3-1 victory over Cambodia in the final match held in Vientiane (Laos).

The match witnessed the superiority of the Indonesian women's team right from the first minutes. In the first half, the girls of the archipelago country led 2-1.

Reva Octaviani opened the scoring for the Indonesian team in the 19th minute, after a precise cross from Sydney Hopper. The Cambodian women's team equalized 1-1 thanks to a header from Hok Saody in the 32nd minute.

However, just three minutes later, the Indonesian women's team re-established their advantage with a goal from naturalized American player Sydney Hopper after a low cross from Sheva Imut.

In the second half, the Indonesian women's team continued to maintain great pressure on the Cambodian defense. In the 58th minute, Reva Octaviani completed her double and helped the Indonesian team raise the score to 3-1. This goal came from a mistake in clearing the ball by a Cambodian player, accidentally creating an opportunity for Rosdilah Siti Nurrohmah to take the ball and pass accurately for Reva Octaviani to score.

In the rest of the match, the Indonesian team created dangerous opportunities, but could not score more goals. Meanwhile, the Cambodian girls, despite their efforts to attack, could not penetrate Indonesia's solid defense.

After 90 minutes, the Indonesian women's team won the 2024 AFF Women's Cup with a 3-1 victory. This is the first time in history that the Indonesian women's team has won the regional championship.
