Morphology
The meaning 'the final match in a cup competition' is directly compositional from 'cup' (the tournament or trophy context) and 'final' (the concluding match). This noun+noun construction is a regular, cross-linguistically common pattern in sports vocabulary, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will almost certainly infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Cup final comes from the simple image of one last game for a cup. The cup is the trophy teams want and the final is the last match, so the phrase means the game that decides the 'winner' who takes the cup.
