Egypt Rest Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras Face Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy curled a superb free-kick onto the post as the two sides played out a draw.
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 Afcon 2025.
The seven-time champions, having clinched top spot, fielded an completely rotated starting XI and lacked 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 two points is enough to qualify for the knockout stage as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are already guaranteed at least third place in their respective groups, all boasting three points.
Match Key Moments
Winger Fredy rattled the woodwork for Angola shortly after the second half, while Egypt's substitute – one of three halftime changes 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 preliminary round finishes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B closer, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana into the next round, putting Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Feel Star Power Absence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 final.
With first place secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more convincing attacking performance from his rotated side.
Mostafa Mohamed, who netted four goals at the previous tournament, created an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender looped his header wide of the target.
Angola, making seven changes themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before dragging a low drive past the post.
The first half ended without a single effort on target, though Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a powerful long-range strike.
The Angolan captain remained the most dangerous source, seeing a set-piece elude the goalkeeper but crash against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after nearly tapping in a cross, only for the goal to be flagged offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy could not break the deadlock, ensuring the match finished goalless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their disjointed performances in Morocco will raise questions about their mid-tournament coaching decision.
