The Pharaohs Rest Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras Face Afcon Exit.
Fredy curled a delightful set-piece onto the woodwork as the two sides played out a draw.
Anfield forward Mohamed Salah and Etihad striker Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as Group B winners Egypt played out a stalemate with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The record winners, having clinched top spot, deployed an completely rotated starting XI and were missing a clinical finish in the Moroccan city.
Angola, who needed a victory to keep their hopes alive, will now face a nervous wait to see if their two points is sufficient to advance for the last 16 as one of the four best-placed third-place teams.
Several other nations are already guaranteed at least third place in their pools, all having three points.
Match Highlights
Attacker Fredy rattled 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 scored earlier in the tournament in comeback wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa, respectively.
Egypt will stay in Agadir to face a third-placed team next Monday, with their next rival to be determined after the group stage concludes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B closer, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana through automatically, leaving Angola on the outside looking in.
Pharaohs Miss Salah and Marmoush Absence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 tournament decider.
With first place wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more convincing display from his rotated side.
The striker, who scored four goals at the previous tournament, created an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back directed his header wide of the target.
Angola, making multiple rotations themselves, nearly went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before firing a low drive past the post.
The first half passed without a single effort on target, though Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a thunderous long-range strike.
The Palancas Negras skipper remained the likeliest threat, watching a set-piece elude the goalkeeper but clatter against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after nearly prodding 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, leaving the match finished scoreless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their inconsistent showings in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their mid-tournament managerial change.
