DOHA:  Bahrain won the Arabian Gulf Cup title for the first time in their history with a 1-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in the final in Qatar.

Star striker Mohamed Al-Rumaihi netted the second-half winner for Bahrain to end their 49-year wait for a maiden Gulf Cup title.

Saudi Arabia captain Salman Al-Farag missed a first-half penalty. The Saudis have lost in the final four times in the last six editions of the competition and have not won the title since 2004.
