Football: Saudi Arabia beat Qatar 1-0 to reach Gulf Cup final against Bahrain

Saudi Arabia's Yasir Al Shahrani in action with Qatar's Ro Ro at Al Janoub Stadium, Al Wakrah, Qatar - December 5, 2019.

"The game was very difficult. The Qatari team has good elements, Akram Afif and Moez Ali — 1-0 was a difficult result," said a Saudi fan who gave his name as Saud, 25, an oil worker from Dharan who had the signature green Saudi colours draped over his shoulders.Saud made the journey to Doha despite his country's two-year-long effort to isolate Qatar over charges that Doha backs Muslim Bortherhood and seeks closer ties with Iran.

"Away from politics, the Qatari people are respected," added Saud. "They are lovable people and we thank them." "I'm happy to be here and happy for the win," said the boys' mother, a Saudi dressed head-to-toe in black and married to a Qatari and living in Doha.Ahead of Thursday's other fixture to feature one of Qatar's Gulf adversaries, Bahrain's football association flew two plane-loads of supporters to see their semi-final clash against Iraq."All the Gulf are coming together with the same hand.
