The Pharaohs Rest Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy curled a superb set-piece onto the post as Angola and Egypt shared a stalemate.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Manchester City counterpart Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as Group B winners Egypt played out a draw with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The seven-time champions, having already secured top spot, fielded an entirely changed starting XI and lacked a clinical finish in Agadir.
Angola, who required 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 pools, all boasting three points.
Match Key Moments
Winger Fredy rattled the outside of a post 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 comeback wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa, in turn.
Egypt will remain in Agadir to meet a runner-up from another group next Monday, with their next rival to be confirmed after the preliminary round finishes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B finale, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe propelled Bafana Bafana through automatically, leaving Angola in a precarious position.
Egypt Feel Star Power Absence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 final.
With first place wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan likely expected a more impressive attacking performance from his rotated side.
The striker, who scored four goals at the previous tournament, created an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back looped his header wide of the target.
Angola, making multiple rotations themselves, nearly went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before dragging a low drive wide.
The first half ended without a shot on target, though Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a thunderous long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain was the likeliest source, seeing a free-kick beat the goalkeeper but crash against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after nearly prodding in a cross, only for the move to be ruled offside.
Late attempts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, leaving the match finished scoreless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their disjointed performances in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their recent coaching decision.
