The Pharaohs Bench Salah as The Palancas Negras on Brink of Elimination from AFCON.
The Angolan winger curled a superb free-kick onto the woodwork as Angola and Egypt played out a draw.
Anfield forward Mohamed Salah and Etihad striker Omar Marmoush remained unused substitutes as Group B winners Egypt were held to a draw with Angola at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The record winners, having clinched top spot, deployed an completely rotated starting XI and were missing a cutting edge in Agadir.
Angola, who required a victory to keep their hopes alive, will now endure an anxious period to see if their solitary draw is sufficient to advance for the knockout stage as one of the highest-ranked third-place teams.
Several other nations are assured of at least third place in their respective groups, all boasting three points.
Game Highlights
Attacker Fredy rattled the outside of a post for Angola shortly after the second half, while Egypt's substitute – one of three halftime changes by the Pharaohs – tested 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 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 sent Bafana Bafana into the next round, leaving Angola on the outside looking in.
Pharaohs Feel Star Power Absence
The Liverpool star observed Egypt draw a blank in an Afcon match for the first time since the 2021 final.
With top spot secured, 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, set up an first-half chance for Hossam Abdelmaguid, but the centre-back looped his header over the target.
Angola, having made multiple rotations themselves, almost went ahead when Chico Banza combined with Mabululu before firing a shot past the post.
The first half passed without a single effort on target, although Fredy forced goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir into action with a powerful long-range attempt.
The Angolan captain was the likeliest source, seeing a free-kick beat the goalkeeper but crash against the crossbar.
At the other end, Salah Mohsen was stunned after nearly tapping in a cross, only for the move to be flagged offside.
Late attempts from M'Bala Nzola and Hamdi Fathy failed to break the deadlock, leaving the match ended scoreless.
For Angola, quarter-finalists in 2023, their disjointed showings in Morocco will raise questions about their mid-tournament managerial change.
