The U23 Eagles went into the game needing at least get a draw to guarantee passage into the last four.
But even a defeat would have seen them through as Mali beat Egypt 1-0 in the group’s other match.
With the draw, the U23 Eagles finished second in the group and will face Senegal in the semi-final, while Algeria will face South Africa.
Three teams are expected to qualify automatically for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
Meanwhile, the team that finish fourth will take on a team from Asia in a play-off.
