The Pharaohs Bench Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras Face Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy delivered a delightful free-kick against the woodwork as Angola and Egypt shared a stalemate.
Anfield forward Mohamed Salah and Manchester City striker Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as the group leaders Egypt played out a stalemate with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The record winners, having already secured top spot, deployed an completely rotated starting XI and were missing a cutting edge 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 highest-ranked third-place teams.
Several other nations are assured of at least third place in their respective groups, all having three points.
Game Highlights
Winger Fredy rattled the outside of a post for Angola shortly after the second half, while Zizo – one of three halftime changes by the Pharaohs – tested 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 preliminary round finishes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B finale, South Africa's victory over Zimbabwe propelled Bafana Bafana into the next round, putting Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Miss Salah and Marmoush Presence
Mohamed Salah watched 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 impressive display from his rotated side.
Mostafa Mohamed, who scored four goals at the 2023 finals, set up an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender looped his header over the target.
Angola, having made multiple rotations themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before dragging a shot wide.
The first half ended without a single effort on target, although Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a thunderous long-range attempt.
The Palancas Negras skipper remained the most dangerous source, watching a set-piece beat the goalkeeper but clatter against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was left in disbelief 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, last-eight participants in 2023, their disjointed showings in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their recent managerial change.
