Egypt Rest Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy curled a delightful free-kick onto the post as the two sides shared a stalemate.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Etihad striker Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as the group leaders Egypt were held to a stalemate 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 were missing a clinical finish in Agadir.
Angola, who needed a victory to keep their hopes alive, will now endure an anxious period to see if their solitary draw is enough to advance for the last 16 as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are assured of at least third place in their pools, all having three points.
Match Key Moments
Attacker Fredy rattled the woodwork for Angola shortly after the second half, while Zizo – one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs – tested goalkeeper Hugo Marques' palms with a effort 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 third-placed team next Monday, with their opponents to be confirmed after the group stage concludes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B finale, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana through automatically, putting Angola in a precarious position.
Egypt Feel Salah and Marmoush Presence
The Liverpool star watched Egypt fail to score in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 tournament decider.
With first place secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more convincing attacking performance from his second string.
Mostafa Mohamed, who netted four goals at the previous tournament, set up an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back looped his header over the target.
Angola, having made multiple rotations themselves, nearly went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before firing a shot past the post.
The first half ended without a single effort on target, although Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a powerful long-range attempt.
The Palancas Negras skipper was the likeliest source, seeing a free-kick beat the goalkeeper but clatter against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after almost tapping in a cross, only for the move to be flagged offside.
Late attempts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy could not break the deadlock, ensuring the match ended goalless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their inconsistent showings in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their recent managerial change.
