JAKARTA - The Indonesian Women's National Team made history by winning the Women's AFF Cup for the first time.

The title was won after overthrowing Cambodia 3-1 in the 2024 Women's AFF Cup final match at the New Laos National Stadium, Vientiane, Thursday, December 5, 2024, WIB night.

Garuda Pertiwi appeared confident and calm from the start of the match. The short pass from leg to leg makes them dominate in possession of the ball.

The scheme practically makes Cambodia only rely on counter-attacks. In addition, the high pressure applied by Indonesia makes it difficult for opponents to control the ball longer.

This system allows the Indonesian Women's National Team to open the scoring in the 18th minute through Reva Octaviani.

He managed to cheat the ball in front of the goal using Katarina Stalin's cross from the left side of the attack.

Winning one goal did not make Garuda Pertiwi relax. This situation also made it difficult for Cambodia to get out of pressure because of Indonesia's high defense line.

However, Cambodia is not without a chance. Several times their counter-attacks were quite troublesome, but always ran aground in the Indonesian defense.

Cambodia's efforts only paid off in the 32nd minute. Hok Saody managed to equalize after his header from a cross failed to be blocked by Laita Roati.

The same strong situation made the Indonesian Women's National Team react. They immediately got the chance to go through Katarina Stalin just as later, but the shots could still be pushed over by goalkeeper Chea Fariya.

The attacks continued to be launched. In the end, Garuda Pertiwi was able to take the lead again in the 35th minute. Almost with the same scheme Sydney

The player with the number 11 shirt cheated the ball in front of Cambodia's goal using Sheva Badminton's low cross, which previously managed to get past the opposing defender.

The 2-1 score for the advantage of the Indonesian Women's National Team finally lasted until halftime.

In the second half, coach Satoru Mochizuki did not change the game scheme. Meanwhile Cambodia is also the same as those who are troubled by Indonesian pressure.

As a result, Garuda Pertiwi only needed 12 minutes since the second half started to score a third goal.

Reva Octaviani scored a brace in the 57th minute. The goal started with Rosdilah Nurrohmah's action who managed to snatch the ball from Cambodia's control.

He pushed into the penalty box and gave Reva a short pass. Easily, Reva immediately threw the ball into the Cambodian goal.

This far advantage did not make the Indonesian Women's National Team relax the tempo. They often put pressure on them and several opportunities were created, but still failed to produce goals.

Until normal time finished, no goals were created. Five minutes of injury time did not change the situation.

The Indonesian Women's National Team won 3-1 over Cambodia in the 2024 Women's AFF Cup final. This score is history because for the first time Garuda Pertiwi won the Women's AFF Cup.
