Winning one goal made the Indonesian women's national team appear more confident. However, Singapore's tight defence made the situation unchanged until the first half was over.

After the break, the Indonesian team's game remained in control. Singapore is not without resistance. They tried hard to get out of the pressure of the Indonesian team to equalize. These efforts did not bear fruit and led the Indonesian national team to qualify for the 2022 Asian Cup finals, which will be held in India from January 20 to February 6, 2022.

This result was even more complete after Zahra Muzdalifah was named Women of the Match in that match. Head coach Rudy Eka Priyambada said this achievement was thanks to the players' hard work and coaching staff, who supported each other.

"The players strictly followed the coach's instructions in training and applied them during the game. But we must not be complacent because in the Women's Asian Cup later, Asia's top women's soccer teams will compete tightly there," said Priyambada.

PSSI General Chair Mochamad Iriawan is grateful for this achievement. He saw that the Garuda Pertiwi squad had worked hard to achieve a second victory over Singapore.
