Egypt Bench Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy curled a superb free-kick against the post as Angola and Egypt shared a stalemate.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Manchester City counterpart Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as Group B winners Egypt played out a stalemate with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The record winners, having clinched top spot, deployed an completely rotated starting XI and lacked 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 sufficient to qualify for the last 16 as one of the four best-placed third-place teams.
Several other nations are already guaranteed at least third place in their pools, all having three points.
Match Key Moments
Attacker Fredy struck the outside of a post for Angola shortly after the second half, while Egypt's substitute – one of three halftime changes by the Pharaohs – stung goalkeeper Hugo Marques' palms with a shot from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had previously found the net in comeback wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa, in turn.
Egypt will stay in Agadir to meet a runner-up from another group next Monday, with their next rival to be determined after the group stage concludes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B finale, South Africa's victory over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana through automatically, leaving Angola in a precarious position.
Pharaohs Miss Salah and Marmoush Absence
Mohamed Salah watched Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 final.
With top spot wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan likely expected a more impressive attacking performance from his second string.
Mostafa Mohamed, who netted four goals at the 2023 finals, created an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back looped his header over the target.
Angola, having made seven changes themselves, nearly went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before firing a shot wide.
The first half ended without a shot on target, though Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a thunderous long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain remained the most dangerous threat, seeing a free-kick elude the goalkeeper but crash against the woodwork.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after nearly prodding in a cross, only for the goal to be ruled offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, leaving the match finished goalless.
For Angola, last-eight participants in 2023, their disjointed showings in Morocco will raise questions about their recent managerial change.
