Saudi Arabia ends 22-year wait by winning the Gulf Cup
SportNestra Editorial Teamabout 2 hours ago2 views
Saudi Arabia won the Gulf Cup, ending a 22-year wait. In the final, Hammam put the Saudi side ahead in the 11th minute, with his shot taking a deflection before finding the net. The goal capped an attacking start from the team, which had strong support from the crowd.
Saudi Arabia quickly added to its advantage. Two minutes after the opener, Firas extended the lead with a strike from inside the penalty area. The side coached by Georgios Donis had established a two-goal cushion early in the match and held on to it to claim the title.
The triumph brings Saudi Arabia’s long wait in the competition to an end. The final turned on two goals scored in quick succession: first Hammam’s deflected effort, then Firas’s finish. The Saudi team made its successful start count, winning the Gulf Cup and returning to the top after 22 years without the title.
