Singapore defeated Malaysia 1-0 in their semi-final courtesy of a solitary goal from Faris Ramli while Oman breezed past Afghanistan 5-0 to set-up the final.
The win for Oman is a welcome boost for Erwin Koeman who took charge of the coaching duties less than a week before the start of the tournament.

Kuala Lumpur: Singapore and Oman will meet in the 2019 Airmarine Cup final after securing wins over Malaysia and Afghanistan respectively at the National Stadium in the Malaysian capital on Wednesday.
MALAYSIA 0-1 SINGAPORE
Faris Ramli's 82nd minute strike proved to be the difference in Singapore’s hard-fought 1-0 win against Malaysia.
Malaysia were on the offensive from the first blow of the referee's whistle, but the host weren’t able to retain possession as Singapore played well under pressure, and it was the visitors who had the first glimpse on goal in the 12th minute when Yasir Hanapi intercepted a pass.
The Tampines Rovers midfielder then surged down the middle to set up a one-on-one with goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi, but the custodian stood firm to block his close range effort. Hanapi then let loose a half-volley from the resultant corner kick, but shot straight into the arms of Fahmi.

The former Dutch international was appointed to lead the West Asians recently, but that has not swayed him from the target of winning the tournament.
