Egypt Bench Mohamed Salah as Angola on Brink of Afcon Exit.
Fredy curled a delightful free-kick against the post as the two sides played out a draw.
Anfield forward Mohamed Salah and Manchester City striker Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as the group leaders Egypt were held to a draw with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The record winners, having already secured top spot, fielded an entirely changed starting XI and were missing a clinical finish in the Moroccan city.
Angola, who needed a victory to stand a chance of progressing, will now face a nervous wait to see if their two points is sufficient to advance 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 respective groups, all having three points.
Game Key Moments
Attacker Fredy rattled the woodwork for Angola shortly after the second half, while Zizo – 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 victories over Zimbabwe and South Africa, in turn.
Egypt will remain in Agadir to meet a third-placed team 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 into the next round, leaving Angola on the outside looking in.
Pharaohs Miss Salah and Marmoush Absence
The Liverpool star watched Egypt draw a blank 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 second string.
Mostafa Mohamed, who scored four goals at the 2023 finals, set up an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender directed his header over the target.
Angola, having made multiple rotations themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before dragging a shot wide.
The first half passed without a shot on target, though Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a thunderous long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain was the most dangerous source, watching a set-piece beat the goalkeeper but crash against the woodwork.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after almost tapping in a cross, only for the move to be flagged offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy could not 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 coaching decision.
