The Pharaohs Bench Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
The Angolan winger delivered a superb free-kick onto the post as the two sides played out a draw.
Anfield star 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 record winners, 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 face a nervous wait to see if their solitary draw is enough to qualify for the last 16 as one of the four best-placed third-place teams.
Several other nations are assured of 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 comeback wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa, respectively.
Egypt will stay in Agadir to face a third-placed team next Monday, with their opponents to be determined after the group stage concludes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B finale, South Africa's victory over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana through automatically, putting Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Miss Star Power Presence
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 display from his second string.
The striker, who netted four goals at the previous tournament, created an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender looped his header over the target.
Angola, making multiple rotations themselves, nearly went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before dragging a low drive past the post.
The first half ended without a shot on target, though Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a thunderous long-range strike.
The Palancas Negras skipper was the most dangerous source, watching a set-piece beat the goalkeeper but crash against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after nearly tapping in a cross, only for the move to be ruled offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, leaving the match ended goalless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their inconsistent showings in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their recent coaching decision.
