The Pharaohs Bench Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
The Angolan winger curled a superb free-kick onto the woodwork as the two sides shared a stalemate.
Anfield star Mohamed Salah and Etihad striker Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as the group leaders Egypt played out a draw with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The seven-time champions, having already secured top spot, fielded an entirely changed starting XI and were missing a clinical finish in Agadir.
Angola, who needed a victory to stand a chance of progressing, will now endure an anxious period to see if their solitary draw is enough to qualify for the last 16 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.
Game Key Moments
Winger Fredy struck 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 shot from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had previously found the net in victories over Zimbabwe and South Africa, in turn.
Egypt will stay in Agadir to meet a third-placed team next Monday, with their next rival to be determined after the group stage finishes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B closer, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe propelled Bafana Bafana into the next round, leaving Angola on the outside looking in.
Pharaohs Miss Star Power Presence
The Liverpool star watched Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 final.
With top spot wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan likely expected a more impressive attacking performance from his rotated side.
Mostafa Mohamed, who netted four goals at the 2023 finals, set up 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 linked up with Mabululu before dragging a low drive past the post.
The first half passed without a shot on target, though Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a thunderous long-range strike.
The Palancas Negras skipper was the most dangerous source, seeing a free-kick elude the goalkeeper but clatter against the woodwork.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was left in disbelief after nearly prodding in a cross, only for the goal to be ruled offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, ensuring the match ended scoreless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their inconsistent performances in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their recent managerial change.
