The Pharaohs Rest Mohamed Salah as Angola Face Afcon Exit.
Fredy curled a superb set-piece onto the post as Angola and Egypt shared a stalemate.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Etihad counterpart Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as the group leaders Egypt played out a stalemate with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The record winners, having clinched top spot, fielded an completely rotated starting XI and were missing a cutting edge in the Moroccan city.
Angola, who required a victory to keep their hopes alive, will now face a nervous wait to see if their two points is enough to qualify for the last 16 as one of the four best-placed third-place teams.
Several other nations are assured of at least third place in their pools, all boasting three points.
Match Key Moments
Winger Fredy struck the outside of a post 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, respectively.
Egypt will remain in Agadir to face a runner-up from another group next Monday, with their opponents to be determined after the group stage finishes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B closer, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana into the next round, leaving Angola in a precarious position.
Egypt Miss Salah and Marmoush Absence
The Liverpool star watched Egypt fail to score in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 tournament decider.
With first place secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more impressive attacking performance from his second string.
The striker, who scored four goals at the 2023 finals, created an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender looped his header over the target.
Angola, making multiple rotations themselves, nearly went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before firing a shot wide.
The first half passed without a shot on target, though Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range strike.
The Angolan captain remained the likeliest threat, seeing a set-piece elude the goalkeeper but crash against the woodwork.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was left in disbelief after almost tapping in a cross, only for the goal to be flagged offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, leaving the match ended goalless.
For Angola, last-eight participants in 2023, their disjointed performances in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their mid-tournament managerial change.
