Al-Sadd was also denied a penalty midway through the second half when Akram fell in the box following a challenge.
Advancing to the Amir Cup final for the 29th time, Afif’s 46th-minute goal proved decisive as Al Sadd edged out the arch-rivals and will now await either Al Gharafa and Qatar SC, who play their semi-final match today.
Last season, Al Arabi was crowned champions of the 51st edition of the Amir Football Cup after defeating Al Sadd 3-0 to clinch the Amir Cup after a gap of 30 years.

Al Sadd, the undisputed golden team of Qatar, stands tall as the most crowned Amir Cup winner with a staggering 18 titles to their name.
They are the only Qatari team to have won the AFC Champions League in Asia and harbour a national record of 64 official football championships.
