The Pharaohs Bench Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy curled a superb set-piece onto the woodwork as Angola and Egypt shared a stalemate.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Manchester City striker 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 already secured top spot, fielded an completely rotated starting XI and lacked a cutting edge in Agadir.
Angola, who needed 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 last 16 as one of the four best-placed third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are assured of at least third place in their respective groups, all having three points.
Game Highlights
Winger Fredy rattled the outside of a post for Angola early in the second half, while Zizo – one of three halftime changes by the Pharaohs – tested goalkeeper Hugo Marques' fingertips with a effort from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had scored earlier in the tournament in comeback wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa, respectively.
Egypt will stay in Agadir to face a third-placed team next Monday, with their next rival to be confirmed after the group stage concludes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B finale, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana into the next round, leaving Angola in a precarious position.
Pharaohs Feel Star Power Absence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 tournament decider.
With first place secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan likely expected a more impressive display from his rotated side.
Mostafa Mohamed, who scored 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 linked up with Mabululu before dragging a shot 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 remained the most dangerous source, watching a set-piece elude the goalkeeper but clatter against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned 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 ended scoreless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their inconsistent showings in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their recent coaching decision.
