Maziya and New Radiant tied in the final match of the Cup Winners' Cup's Group Stage.

The match was played last night at the national football stadium, with a score of 1-1.

Both teams secured their place in the final before the match.

Maziya took the lead in the 63rd minute when Ahmed Nashiu Shiyam sent the ball into New Radiant's penalty box, allowing Benin forward Charbel Codjo Gomez to score.

Both team's coaches have brought changes to their starting 11 in preparation for the final match that will be played on Wednesday night.

New Radiant's Ali Fasir (Sentey), who usually plays as a substitute, was brought on as a starting player. Maziya's midfielder Ibrahim Aisam (Tony) and Ahmed Aiham (Fatho) were brought on as substitutes, with both of them usually holding starting 11 positions.

New Radiant's Ahmed Husam equalized for his team in the 72nd minute of the match.

Ethan Ibrahim Zaki crossed the ball to the front of the goal within the penalty box, with Husam converting his strike into a goal.

New Radiant was able to make space for the attack due to players from Maziya being too high up the field during their attack.
