Two goals from the Leicester City striker Islam Slimani were not enough to keep Georges Leekens' side in the 2017 AFCON, finishing third in Group B
Islam Slimani scored a goal in each half but Algeria's Africa Cup of Nations campaign limped to a winless close as they drew 2-2 with a much-changed Senegal in Franceville.
The Desert Warriors entered the final round of Group B matches on Monday knowing nothing less than victory and a shock win for Zimbabwe over Tunisia would prolong their participation in the tournament.
Senegal – already through to a mouthwatering quarter-final against Cameroon at the same ground on Saturday – made 10 alterations but Georges Leekens' misfiring stars were still unable to ease the pain of missing out on a knockout berth.
