Egypt Bench Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Afcon Exit.
Fredy delivered a superb set-piece against the post as the two sides shared a stalemate.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah and Manchester City counterpart Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as the group leaders Egypt played out a stalemate with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The record winners, having clinched top spot, deployed an entirely changed starting XI and were missing a cutting edge in the Moroccan city.
Angola, who needed a victory to keep their hopes alive, will now face a nervous wait to see if their solitary draw is sufficient to advance for the knockout stage as one of the four best-placed third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are assured of at least third place in their respective groups, all having three points.
Match Key Moments
Attacker Fredy rattled the outside of a post for Angola early in the second half, while Zizo – one of three halftime changes by the Pharaohs – stung goalkeeper Hugo Marques' fingertips 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 meet a runner-up from another group next Monday, with their next rival to be confirmed after the preliminary round concludes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B finale, South Africa's victory over Zimbabwe propelled Bafana Bafana into the next round, putting Angola in a precarious position.
Pharaohs Feel Star Power Absence
Mohamed Salah watched Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 tournament decider.
With first place wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more convincing attacking performance from his second string.
The striker, who scored four goals at the previous tournament, set up an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender directed his header over the target.
Angola, making multiple rotations themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before dragging a shot past the post.
The first half passed without a single effort on target, though Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a thunderous long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain was the likeliest threat, 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 move to be flagged offside.
Late attempts 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 raise questions about their recent coaching decision.
