The Pharaohs Rest Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy delivered a superb set-piece onto the post as Angola and Egypt shared a stalemate.
Anfield forward Mohamed Salah and Manchester City counterpart Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as the group leaders Egypt played out a draw with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The seven-time champions, having clinched top spot, fielded an completely rotated starting XI and lacked a clinical finish in Agadir.
Angola, who required a victory to stand a chance of progressing, will now face a nervous wait to see if their two points is enough to qualify for the knockout stage as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Several other nations are already guaranteed at least third place in their pools, all boasting three points.
Match Key Moments
Attacker Fredy struck the woodwork for Angola early in the second half, while Zizo – one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs – stung goalkeeper Hugo Marques' fingertips 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 meet a third-placed team next Monday, with their next rival to be determined after the preliminary round finishes on Wednesday.
In the other 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.
Pharaohs Feel Star Power Presence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 final.
With top spot wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan likely expected a more impressive attacking performance from his second string.
Mostafa Mohamed, who netted four goals at the 2023 finals, set up an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back directed his header wide of the target.
Angola, making seven changes themselves, nearly went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before firing a shot past the post.
The first half ended without a shot on target, though Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a thunderous long-range strike.
The Angolan captain was the likeliest source, watching a free-kick elude the goalkeeper but clatter against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was left in disbelief after almost prodding in a cross, only for the move to be ruled offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy could not break the deadlock, ensuring the match ended goalless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their disjointed showings in Morocco will raise questions about their mid-tournament coaching decision.
