Egypt Rest Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Afcon Exit.
Fredy delivered a superb free-kick against the woodwork as the two sides played out a draw.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Etihad counterpart Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as Group B winners Egypt played out a stalemate with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The record winners, having clinched top spot, fielded an completely rotated starting XI and were missing a cutting edge in Agadir.
Angola, who required a victory to keep their hopes alive, will now face a nervous wait to see if their two points is sufficient to qualify for the knockout stage as one of the four best-placed third-place teams.
Several other nations are already guaranteed at least third place in their respective groups, all having three points.
Match Key Moments
Winger Fredy rattled the woodwork for Angola shortly after 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 comeback wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa, in turn.
Egypt will stay in Agadir to face a third-placed team next Monday, with their next rival to be confirmed after the group stage concludes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B closer, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana through automatically, leaving Angola in a precarious position.
Egypt Feel Salah and Marmoush Presence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 final.
With top spot wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more impressive attacking performance from his rotated side.
Mostafa Mohamed, who netted four goals at the 2023 finals, created an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back looped his header over the target.
Angola, making seven changes themselves, nearly went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before firing a shot wide.
The first half passed without a single effort on target, though Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain remained the likeliest source, watching a set-piece elude the goalkeeper but clatter against the woodwork.
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 failed to break the deadlock, ensuring the match ended scoreless.
For Angola, last-eight participants in 2023, their disjointed performances in Morocco will raise questions about their mid-tournament managerial change.
