Firas Chawat scored the winning goal. Ahli, meanwhile, beat Manama 3-1 in their last-four contest.
Ahli are in the championship game for the second straight year. They also played in the final last season, where they lost to Al Hala in a heart-stopping penalty shootout.
The HM the King’s Cup is the richest football competition in the Kingdom, with the winners set to take home BD100,000 in prize money and BD50,000 going to the runners-up.
