The Pharaohs Bench Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Afcon Exit.
Fredy curled a delightful free-kick against the post as Angola and Egypt shared a stalemate.
Liverpool 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, fielded an entirely changed starting XI and were missing a clinical finish in the Moroccan city.
Angola, who required a victory to keep their hopes alive, will now endure an anxious period to see if their two points is sufficient to advance for the last 16 as one of the four best-placed third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are already guaranteed at least third place in their respective groups, all boasting three points.
Match Highlights
Winger Fredy rattled the outside of a post for Angola shortly after the second half, while Egypt's substitute – one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs – tested goalkeeper Hugo Marques' palms with a shot from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had scored earlier in the tournament in victories over Zimbabwe and South Africa, respectively.
Egypt will stay in Agadir to face a runner-up from another group next Monday, with their opponents 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 through automatically, putting Angola in a precarious position.
Pharaohs Miss Salah and Marmoush Absence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 final.
With first place secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for 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 defender directed his header over the target.
Angola, making multiple rotations themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before dragging a shot past the post.
The first half ended without a shot on target, although Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a thunderous long-range strike.
The Angolan captain was the most dangerous source, watching a set-piece beat the goalkeeper but clatter against the woodwork.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after almost tapping 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, ensuring the match ended scoreless.
For Angola, last-eight participants in 2023, their inconsistent showings in Morocco will raise questions about their recent managerial change.
