Saudi Arabia beat Oman to reach final of 2022 WAFF U-23 Championship

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia have reached the final of the 2022 West Asian Football Federation U-23 Championship following a 2-1 comeback victory over Oman on Saturday.

The Omani team took the lead on 25 minutes at Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium, in Jeddah, through Al-Faraj Al-Kiyumi, but their joy lasted only 10 minutes as the Green Falcons equalized through Mohammed Maran.

Maran settled the semi-final with his second of the match in the 53rd minute.

In the other semi-final, Qatar beat Syria 6-5 in a penalty shootout after the match had finished in a 1-1 draw, and they will now face Saudi Arabia in Tuesday’s final at the Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium.
