Zaki's 38th-minute goal proved the winner at Kumasi's Baba Yara stadium, setting up a semi-final with the Ivory Coast at the same venue on Thursday.
Egypt took the lead with a Hosni Abd Rabou penalty in the 23rd minute but Angola equalised soon after with a superb dipping shot by Manucho.
The semi-final will be repeat of the 2006 final in Cairo, which the Egyptians won on penalties. - Reuters
