The Pharaohs Bench Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
Fredy curled a superb set-piece onto the woodwork as the two sides shared a stalemate.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Etihad striker Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as the group leaders Egypt were held to a draw with Angola at the Afcon 2025.
The record winners, having already secured top spot, fielded an completely rotated starting XI and were missing a clinical finish in the Moroccan city.
Angola, who needed a victory to keep their hopes alive, will now face a nervous wait to see if their two points is sufficient to advance for the knockout stage as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Benin, Sudan and Mozambique are already guaranteed at least third place in their pools, all boasting three points.
Match Highlights
Attacker Fredy struck the outside of a post for Angola shortly after the second half, while Egypt's substitute – one of three halftime changes by the Pharaohs – stung goalkeeper Hugo Marques' fingertips with a shot from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had previously found the net in comeback wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa, in turn.
Egypt will remain in Agadir to meet a third-placed team next Monday, with their opponents to be confirmed after the preliminary round finishes on Wednesday.
In the other Group B closer, South Africa's victory over Zimbabwe sent Bafana Bafana into the next round, putting Angola on the outside looking in.
Egypt Feel Salah and Marmoush Absence
Mohamed Salah observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 tournament decider.
With first place secured, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan might have hoped for a more convincing attacking performance from his second string.
Mostafa Mohamed, who netted four goals at the previous tournament, created an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the defender directed 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 wide.
The first half passed without a single effort on target, though Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range strike.
The Palancas Negras skipper was the likeliest threat, seeing a free-kick beat the goalkeeper but clatter against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was left in disbelief after nearly tapping in a cross, only for the move to be flagged offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, ensuring the match ended scoreless.
For Angola, last-eight participants in 2023, their inconsistent showings in Morocco will lead to scrutiny about their mid-tournament coaching decision.
