The Pharaohs Bench Mohamed Salah as Angola Face Afcon Exit.
The Angolan winger curled a delightful free-kick onto the woodwork as the two sides played out a draw.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Etihad striker Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as Group B winners Egypt were held to a stalemate with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The record winners, having already secured top spot, deployed an completely rotated starting XI and lacked a clinical finish in Agadir.
Angola, who required a victory to stand a chance of progressing, will now endure an anxious period to see if their two points is sufficient to qualify for the last 16 as one of the four best-placed third-place teams.
Several other nations are assured of at least third place in their pools, all having three points.
Match Key Moments
Winger Fredy rattled the outside of a post for Angola shortly after the second half, while Egypt's substitute – one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs – tested goalkeeper Hugo Marques' fingertips with a effort from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had scored earlier in the tournament in victories over Zimbabwe and South Africa, in turn.
Egypt will stay in Agadir to meet a third-placed team next Monday, with their opponents to be confirmed after the group stage concludes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B finale, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe propelled Bafana Bafana through automatically, leaving Angola in a precarious position.
Egypt Feel Star Power Presence
The Liverpool star watched Egypt fail to score in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 tournament decider.
With first place secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more convincing display from his rotated side.
The striker, who scored four goals at the 2023 finals, set up an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back directed his header over the target.
Angola, having made seven changes themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza linked up with Mabululu before dragging a shot 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 most dangerous source, watching a set-piece elude the goalkeeper but crash 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 flagged offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, ensuring the match finished goalless.
For Angola, last-eight participants in 2023, their inconsistent showings in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their recent managerial change.
