The Pharaohs Rest Salah as Angola Face Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy delivered a delightful set-piece onto the woodwork as Angola and Egypt played out a draw.
Anfield forward Mohamed Salah and Manchester City striker Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as the group leaders Egypt played out a draw with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The record winners, having clinched top spot, fielded an completely rotated starting XI and lacked a cutting edge in the Moroccan city.
Angola, who required a victory to stand a chance of progressing, 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.
Several other nations are already guaranteed at least third place in their respective groups, all having three points.
Game Key Moments
Winger Fredy struck the woodwork for Angola early in the second half, while Zizo – one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs – tested goalkeeper Hugo Marques' fingertips with a effort from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had previously found the net in victories over Zimbabwe and South Africa, respectively.
Egypt will stay in Agadir to face a third-placed team next Monday, with their opponents to be confirmed after the group stage concludes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B closer, South Africa's victory over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana into the next round, leaving Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Feel Star Power Presence
The Liverpool star watched Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 final.
With top spot secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more convincing display from his second string.
The striker, who scored four goals at the previous tournament, created an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender directed his header wide of the target.
Angola, having made 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 attempt.
The Palancas Negras skipper was the likeliest threat, watching a free-kick elude the goalkeeper but clatter against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after almost tapping in a cross, only for the goal to be flagged offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, leaving the match ended scoreless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their inconsistent showings in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their mid-tournament managerial change.
