Egypt Rest Mohamed Salah as Angola Face Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy curled a superb set-piece against the woodwork as the two sides played out a draw.
Anfield star Mohamed Salah and Manchester City counterpart Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as Group B winners Egypt played out a draw with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The seven-time champions, having clinched top spot, fielded an completely rotated starting XI and were missing a clinical finish in Agadir.
Angola, who needed a victory to stand a chance of progressing, will now face a nervous wait to see if their two points is enough to qualify for the last 16 as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are assured of at least third place in their pools, all boasting three points.
Match Highlights
Winger Fredy struck the woodwork for Angola early in the second half, while Egypt's substitute â one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs â 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 stay in Agadir to meet a runner-up from another group next Monday, with their opponents to be confirmed after the group stage finishes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B closer, South Africa's victory over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana through automatically, putting Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Feel Salah and Marmoush Absence
The Liverpool star watched Egypt fail to score in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 final.
With top spot wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan likely expected a more impressive display from his rotated side.
The striker, who scored four goals at the previous tournament, created an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender directed his header over the target.
Angola, making multiple rotations themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before firing a low drive past the post.
The first half ended without a single effort on target, although Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range attempt.
The Palancas Negras skipper was the likeliest threat, watching a set-piece elude the goalkeeper but clatter against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after almost prodding in a cross, only for the goal to be ruled offside.
Late attempts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, ensuring the match finished goalless.
For Angola, last-eight participants in 2023, their disjointed showings in Morocco will raise questions about their recent coaching decision.
