The Pharaohs Rest Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy curled a delightful set-piece onto the woodwork as Angola and Egypt played out a draw.
Anfield forward Mohamed Salah and Etihad counterpart Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as the group leaders Egypt were held to a stalemate with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The record winners, having already secured top spot, fielded an entirely changed starting XI and were missing a cutting edge in the Moroccan city.
Angola, who needed a victory to stand a chance of progressing, will now endure an anxious period to see if their solitary draw is sufficient to advance for the last 16 as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are assured of at least third place in their pools, all boasting three points.
Match Key Moments
Attacker Fredy struck the outside of a post for Angola early in the second half, while Zizo – one of three halftime changes by the Pharaohs – tested goalkeeper Hugo Marques' fingertips with a shot 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 preliminary round finishes on Wednesday.
In the simultaneous Group B finale, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana into the next round, putting Angola in a precarious position.
Egypt Feel Salah and Marmoush Absence
The Liverpool star observed 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 might have hoped for a more impressive display from his second string.
Mostafa Mohamed, who scored four goals at the previous tournament, created an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender looped his header over the target.
Angola, making seven changes themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before dragging a low drive wide.
The first half ended without a shot on target, though Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a thunderous long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain remained the likeliest threat, watching a free-kick beat the goalkeeper but crash 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 attempts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy could not break the deadlock, leaving the match ended goalless.
For Angola, last-eight participants in 2023, their inconsistent showings in Morocco will raise questions about their mid-tournament coaching decision.
