KUWAIT: Al-Arabi beat Salmiya 1-0 to qualify for the Amir Cup final, where they will be facing Kuwait in an epic showdown on June 16th. Al-Arabi’s win came Friday at Ali Sabah Al-Salem Stadium, where it dominated throughout the first half with many attempts on the goal. Al-Arabi’s pressure almost resulted in a goal before the half time whistle, but the referee used the VAR technology to rule out a goal due to a foul committed on Salmiya’s defense before the ball hit the back of the net.

In the second half, Al-Arabi’s Kamil Al-Aswad managed to open the scoring in the 52nd minute, and the advantage continued for his team as the defense managed to block Salmiya’s attacks until the final whistle. Kuwait SC qualified for the final match after beating Qadsia 1-0 in the other semi-final match held earlier in the day. — KUNA
