Egypt Rest Mohamed Salah as Angola Face Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy delivered a delightful set-piece against the post as the two sides shared a stalemate.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah and Manchester City counterpart Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as Group B winners Egypt were held to a stalemate with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The record winners, having already secured top spot, fielded an entirely changed starting XI and were missing a cutting edge in Agadir.
Angola, who required a victory to stand a chance of progressing, will now face a nervous wait to see if their solitary draw is enough to qualify for the last 16 as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are already guaranteed at least third place in their respective groups, all boasting three points.
Match Key Moments
Attacker Fredy rattled the woodwork for Angola shortly after the second half, while Zizo â one of three halftime changes by the Pharaohs â stung goalkeeper Hugo Marques' fingertips with a shot from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had scored earlier in the tournament in victories over Zimbabwe and South Africa, respectively.
Egypt will remain in Agadir to meet 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 through automatically, leaving Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Feel Star Power Presence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 final.
With top spot secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan likely expected a more impressive display from his second string.
Mostafa Mohamed, who scored four goals at the previous tournament, set up an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender directed his header over the target.
Angola, having made seven changes themselves, nearly went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before firing a shot wide.
The first half passed without a single effort on target, although Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain was the most dangerous source, watching a set-piece elude the goalkeeper but crash against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after almost tapping in a cross, only for the goal to be flagged offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy could not break the deadlock, leaving the match finished goalless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their disjointed showings in Morocco will raise questions about their mid-tournament managerial change.
