Bahrain have been crowned champions of the Arabian Gulf Football Cup, ‘Khaleeji Zain 26’, after defeating Oman 2-1 on Saturday, at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait.

Bahrain overturned a 1-0 deficit, after Oman scored in the 17th minute through Abdulrahman Al-Mushaifri, to win 2-1. Mohamed Marhoon scored the equaliser for Bahrain in the 78th minute from a penalty, followed by an own goal by Oman's Mohammed Al-Musalami in the 80th minute.
