Egypt Rest Mohamed Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
The Angolan winger curled a superb set-piece onto the woodwork as Angola and Egypt played out a draw.
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah and Manchester City counterpart Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as Group B winners Egypt were held to a draw with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The seven-time champions, having clinched top spot, deployed an entirely changed starting XI and lacked a clinical finish 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 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 rattled the woodwork for Angola shortly after the second half, while Zizo – one of three halftime changes by the Pharaohs – 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 stay in Agadir to meet a third-placed team next Monday, with their next rival to be confirmed after the preliminary round 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.
Egypt Miss Star Power Absence
The Liverpool star watched Egypt fail to score in an Afcon match for the first occasion since the 2021 tournament decider.
With top spot secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more convincing display from his rotated side.
Mostafa Mohamed, who scored four goals at the 2023 finals, created an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back directed 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 single effort on target, although Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain remained the likeliest source, seeing a free-kick elude the goalkeeper but crash against the woodwork.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after almost prodding in a cross, only for the move to be ruled offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy could not break the deadlock, leaving the match finished goalless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their disjointed performances in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their recent managerial change.
