The Pharaohs Bench Salah as Angola on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy curled a superb free-kick against the post as Angola and Egypt played out a draw.
Anfield forward Mohamed Salah and Etihad striker Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as Group B winners Egypt played out a draw with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The record winners, having already secured top spot, fielded an completely rotated starting XI and lacked a cutting edge in Agadir.
Angola, who required a victory to stand a chance of progressing, will now face a nervous wait to see if their two points is sufficient to advance for the last 16 as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Several other nations are assured of at least third place in their respective groups, all having three points.
Match Key Moments
Winger Fredy struck the outside of a post for Angola early in the second half, while Zizo â one of three halftime changes by the Pharaohs â stung goalkeeper Hugo Marques' fingertips with a shot from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had scored earlier in the tournament in victories over Zimbabwe and South Africa, respectively.
Egypt will remain in Agadir to meet a runner-up from another group next Monday, with their opponents to be determined after the group stage finishes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B closer, South Africa's victory over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana through automatically, leaving Angola in a precarious position.
Pharaohs Miss Salah and Marmoush Absence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 tournament decider.
With top spot secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more convincing attacking performance from his rotated side.
Mostafa Mohamed, who netted four goals at the previous tournament, set up an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender looped his header wide of the target.
Angola, making multiple rotations themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before firing a shot past the post.
The first half ended without a shot on target, though Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range strike.
The Angolan captain was the likeliest source, seeing a set-piece elude the goalkeeper but clatter against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was left in disbelief after nearly prodding 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, last-eight participants in 2023, their disjointed performances in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their mid-tournament coaching decision.
