The Pharaohs Rest Mohamed Salah as Angola Face Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy delivered a superb set-piece against the woodwork as the two sides shared a stalemate.
Anfield star Mohamed Salah and Manchester City counterpart Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as the group leaders Egypt played out a draw with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The record winners, having already secured top spot, fielded an completely rotated starting XI and lacked a cutting edge in the Moroccan city.
Angola, who needed a victory to stand a chance of progressing, will now endure an anxious period to see if their solitary draw is sufficient to advance for the knockout stage as one of the four best-placed third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are assured of at least third place in their pools, all having three points.
Match Key Moments
Attacker Fredy rattled the woodwork for Angola early in the second half, while Zizo – one of three halftime changes by the Pharaohs – stung goalkeeper Hugo Marques' palms with a effort from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had scored earlier in the tournament in victories over Zimbabwe and South Africa, in turn.
Egypt will remain in Agadir to meet a runner-up from another group next Monday, with their opponents to be confirmed after the group stage finishes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B closer, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe propelled Bafana Bafana through automatically, leaving Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Miss Star Power Presence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt fail to score in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 tournament decider.
With top spot wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more impressive display from his second string.
Mostafa Mohamed, who scored four goals at the 2023 finals, created an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back looped his header wide of the target.
Angola, making seven changes themselves, nearly went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before firing a low drive wide.
The first half passed without a single effort on target, though Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range strike.
The Palancas Negras skipper remained the most dangerous threat, watching a set-piece beat the goalkeeper but crash against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after almost prodding in a cross, only for the move to be flagged offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy could not break the deadlock, ensuring the match ended goalless.
For Angola, last-eight participants in 2023, their inconsistent showings in Morocco will raise questions about their mid-tournament coaching decision.
