United Arab Emirates grabbed a last-gasp 1-0 victory over Saudi Arabia on Saturday to qualify to the Gulf Cup final.

UAE striker Ismail Matar scored the winner in the stoppage time as the hosts set up a final clash with Oman, who beat Bahrain with the same result earlier on the same day.

Matar sent UAE to the semis with an injury-time goal against Kuwait in the group stage.

He now leads the scorers chart with four goals, one ahead of Saudi Arabia's Yasser Al-Qahtani.

Neither UAE nor Oman have won this tournament before.
