The Pharaohs Bench Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras Face Elimination from AFCON.
The Angolan winger delivered a superb set-piece onto the woodwork as Angola and Egypt shared a stalemate.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah and Manchester City counterpart Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as the group leaders Egypt were held to a stalemate with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The record winners, having clinched top spot, deployed an completely rotated starting XI and lacked a clinical finish in Agadir.
Angola, who required a victory to keep their hopes alive, will now face a nervous wait to see if their two points is sufficient to advance for the last 16 as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Several other nations are already guaranteed at least third place in their respective groups, all boasting three points.
Match Key Moments
Winger Fredy struck the outside of a post for Angola shortly after the second half, while Egypt's substitute – one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs – stung goalkeeper Hugo Marques' palms with a effort from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had previously found the net in comeback wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa, in turn.
Egypt will stay in Agadir to face a runner-up from another group next Monday, with their next rival to be confirmed after the group stage concludes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B closer, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana into the next round, leaving Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Miss Salah and Marmoush Presence
The Liverpool star watched Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 final.
With top spot secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more impressive display from his second string.
The striker, who netted four goals at the 2023 finals, set up an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender looped his header wide of the target.
Angola, making multiple rotations themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before firing a shot past the post.
The first half ended without a single effort on target, though Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a powerful long-range attempt.
The Palancas Negras skipper remained the most dangerous threat, seeing a free-kick elude the goalkeeper but crash against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was left in disbelief 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 ended goalless.
For Angola, last-eight participants in 2023, their inconsistent performances in Morocco will raise questions about their mid-tournament coaching decision.
