The Pharaohs Rest Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy curled a superb free-kick against the woodwork as Angola and Egypt shared a stalemate.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Manchester City counterpart Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as Group B winners Egypt were held to a draw with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
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 needed a victory to stand a chance of progressing, will now face a nervous wait to see if their two points is sufficient to advance for the knockout stage as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Several other nations are assured of at least third place in their respective groups, all boasting three points.
Match Highlights
Attacker Fredy rattled the woodwork for Angola shortly after the second half, while Egypt's substitute β one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs β 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, in turn.
Egypt will remain in Agadir to meet a runner-up from another group next Monday, with their opponents to be determined after the preliminary round finishes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B closer, South Africa's victory over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana into the next round, putting Angola in a precarious position.
Egypt Feel Star Power Absence
Mohamed Salah observed Egypt fail to score in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 final.
With first place secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan likely expected a more convincing attacking performance from his rotated side.
Mostafa Mohamed, who scored four goals at the 2023 finals, created an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back looped his header over the target.
Angola, having made multiple rotations themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before firing a shot past the post.
The first half ended without a single effort on target, although Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a thunderous long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain remained the most dangerous threat, seeing a set-piece beat the goalkeeper but clatter against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was left in disbelief after almost tapping in a cross, only for the move to be ruled offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy could not break the deadlock, leaving the match ended scoreless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their inconsistent performances in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their recent coaching decision.
