SEA SWIMMING CHAMP 2012: SINGAPORE – INDONESIA: 5-3

POLO AIR INDONESIA - A rematch of the 2011 SEA Games gold medal game where Singapore won, Indonesia was made to play second fiddle again. Indonesia started strongly and scored the first goal but the night remains Singapore’s as the ladies

ground out a deserving win over the Indonesia. Singapore is crowned the

champion of the inaugural SEA Championships and Indonesia took silver.

Goals per quarter

Q1: Indonesia’s first goal came against the grain of play through a center

forward play by Sarah. Singapore, despite the majority of the spectators

cheering for them, couldn’t convert from 4 extra-man situations.

Q2: The Singaporean ladies went into the break playing a physically

demanding full court press defence. That paid immediate dividends as they

forced many turnovers, which resulted in 3 goals while conceding none.

Q3: The Indonesians, seeking revenge for the 2011 SEA Games loss, got one

goal back through Febby but Singapore’s Angeline ensured that the host’s

lead was intact.

Q4: The Singapore team continued their relentless attack and full court press

defence, forcing the Indonesians to run their shot clock down. Singapore’s

Melissa put in a critical goal with less than 3 minutes left on the clock to

extend the lead to 3 goals. Indonesia could only managed a consolation goal

in the final seconds through Maya.
