Tunisia, ranked third in Africa, meekly bowed out of the Cup of Nations after drawing 0-0 with South Africa in a poor final round Group E match in Korhogo on Wednesday, according to AFP.
Tunisia became the second top 10-ranked nation after Algeria to be eliminated after the opening round.
Mali won Group E after a 0-0 draw with Namibia, and both qualified for the knockout stage along with second-placed South Africa.
This month, Msakni became the fourth player after Cameroonian Rigobert Song, Egyptian Ahmed Hassan and Ghanaian Andre 'Dede' Ayew to feature in eight Cup of Nations tournaments.
