The Pharaohs Bench Mohamed Salah as Angola on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy delivered a superb free-kick against the post as Angola and Egypt played out a draw.
Anfield star Mohamed Salah and Manchester City striker Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as the group leaders Egypt were held to a stalemate with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The seven-time champions, 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 sufficient to advance for the last 16 as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are assured of at least third place in their respective groups, all having three points.
Game Key Moments
Winger Fredy rattled the woodwork for Angola early in the second half, while Egypt's substitute – one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs – stung goalkeeper Hugo Marques' palms with a effort from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had previously found the net in victories over Zimbabwe and South Africa, respectively.
Egypt will stay in Agadir to face a third-placed team next Monday, with their opponents to be confirmed after the preliminary round finishes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B closer, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana through automatically, putting Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Miss Salah and Marmoush Presence
The Liverpool star watched Egypt fail to score in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 tournament decider.
With first place wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more convincing display from his second string.
Mostafa Mohamed, who netted four goals at the 2023 finals, created an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back looped his header wide of the target.
Angola, having made multiple rotations themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before firing a low drive wide.
The first half passed without a shot on target, though Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain remained the most dangerous threat, watching a set-piece elude the goalkeeper but clatter against the woodwork.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after almost tapping in a cross, only for the goal to be flagged offside.
Late attempts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy could not break the deadlock, ensuring the match ended goalless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their disjointed showings in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their recent managerial change.
