Egypt Rest Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Afcon Exit.
Fredy delivered a superb set-piece onto the post as the two sides played out a draw.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah and Manchester City counterpart Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as Group B winners Egypt were held to a draw with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The record winners, having clinched top spot, deployed an completely rotated starting XI and lacked a cutting edge 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.
Several other nations are assured of at least third place in their pools, all having three points.
Match Key Moments
Winger Fredy struck the outside of a post for Angola early in 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, respectively.
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 finale, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana through automatically, putting Angola on the outside looking in.
Pharaohs Feel Star Power Presence
Mohamed Salah watched Egypt fail to score in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 final.
With first place wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more convincing display from his second string.
Mostafa Mohamed, who netted four goals at the previous tournament, created an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender directed his header wide of the target.
Angola, making seven changes themselves, nearly went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before dragging a shot wide.
The first half ended without a shot on target, although Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a thunderous long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain was 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 prodding in a cross, only for the move to be ruled offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, ensuring the match finished scoreless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their disjointed showings in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their recent managerial change.
