Egypt Bench Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras Face Afcon Exit.
Fredy delivered a delightful free-kick against the woodwork as the two sides shared a stalemate.
Anfield star Mohamed Salah and Manchester City striker Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as the group leaders Egypt played out 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 Agadir.
Angola, who required a victory to keep their hopes alive, will now face a nervous wait to see if their two points is enough 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 pools, all boasting three points.
Game Key Moments
Attacker Fredy struck the woodwork for Angola early in the second half, while Zizo – one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs – tested goalkeeper Hugo Marques' palms with a effort from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had previously found the net in comeback wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa, in turn.
Egypt will remain in Agadir to meet a runner-up from another group next Monday, with their next rival to be confirmed after the preliminary round finishes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B finale, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana into the next round, putting Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Miss Star Power 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 rotated side.
The striker, who netted four goals at the 2023 finals, set up an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back looped his header over the target.
Angola, having made seven changes themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before firing a shot wide.
The first half ended without a shot on target, although Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain remained the most dangerous source, watching a set-piece beat the goalkeeper but crash against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was left in disbelief after almost tapping in a cross, only for the goal to be flagged offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, leaving the match finished scoreless.
For Angola, last-eight participants in 2023, their disjointed showings in Morocco will raise questions about their mid-tournament managerial change.
