Bosnia and Herzegovina will not be playing at the World Cup next summer.
And their fans commiserated themselves by turning the A.
Le Coq Arena in Tallinn into the kind of place The Crazy World of Arthur Brown sang about.
Bosnia needed to beat Estonia and hope Greece lost to minnow Gibraltar in the other game to reach the play-off stage of the European qualifiers - with Belgium long since wrapping up the top spot in Group H.
But despite Bosnia doing what they needed to do, beating Estonia 2-1, the Greeks thrashed their rivals 4-0.
The Bosnian fans still managed to create an awesome atmosphere filled with flares and other pyrotechnics.
But the blazing inferno in the stands extended to the pitch as despite a protective fence the crazed support managed to land flares on the pitch.
The sparks managed to set some of the turf alight with firemen sprinting onto the pitch to put out the fires.
Werder Bremen striker Izet Hajrovic scored either side Ilja Antonov's strike as the game ended 2-1.
