Fredy curled a superb free-kick against the woodwork as the two sides shared a stalemate.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and Etihad striker Omar Marmoush watched from the bench as Group B winners Egypt played out a stalemate with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The seven-time champions, having clinched top spot, deployed an completely rotated starting XI and were missing 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 advance for the knockout stage 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 Highlights
Winger Fredy struck the woodwork for Angola early in the second half, while Egypt's substitute – one of three players introduced by the Pharaohs – stung goalkeeper Hugo Marques' fingertips with a shot from inside the box.
Salah and Marmoush had previously found the net in victories over Zimbabwe and South Africa, respectively.
Egypt will remain 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 simultaneous Group B finale, South Africa's 3-2 win over Zimbabwe propelled Bafana Bafana through automatically, putting Angola on the outside looking in.
Pharaohs Miss Star Power Absence
Mohamed Salah watched Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 final.
With first place wrapped up, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan likely expected a more convincing attacking performance from his second string.
The striker, who netted four goals at the 2023 finals, set up an early chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back directed his header wide of 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, although Fredy caused goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into a save with a powerful long-range attempt.
The Palancas Negras skipper was the likeliest threat, seeing a free-kick elude the goalkeeper but crash against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after nearly tapping in a cross, only for the goal to be ruled offside.
Late efforts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, ensuring the match ended scoreless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their disjointed performances in Morocco will raise questions about their mid-tournament coaching decision.
