The Pharaohs Bench Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras Face Afcon Exit.
Fredy curled a superb set-piece onto the post as the two sides played out a draw.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah and Etihad striker Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as Group B winners Egypt played out a stalemate with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The record winners, having already secured top spot, deployed an completely rotated starting XI and lacked a clinical finish in the Moroccan city.
Angola, who needed a victory to stand a chance of progressing, will now face a nervous wait to see if their solitary draw is enough to advance for the last 16 as one of the four best-placed third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are assured of at least third place in their respective groups, all having three points.
Match Highlights
Attacker Fredy struck the woodwork for Angola early in the second half, while Zizo – one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs – stung goalkeeper Hugo Marques' fingertips with a shot from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had previously found the net 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 next rival to be determined after the group stage concludes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B finale, South Africa's victory over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana into the next round, leaving Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Miss Star Power Absence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 final.
With first place wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan likely expected a more convincing display from his second string.
The striker, who netted four goals at the previous tournament, set up an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender directed his header wide of the target.
Angola, making multiple rotations themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before dragging a shot past the post.
The first half ended without a shot on target, although Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain was the likeliest threat, seeing a set-piece elude the goalkeeper but clatter against the woodwork.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after nearly prodding in a cross, only for the move to be ruled offside.
Late attempts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy could not break the deadlock, leaving the match finished scoreless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their disjointed performances in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their mid-tournament managerial change.
