Saudi Arabia's official team plane caught fire in mid air as they travelled to their next World Cup match.
Flames were seen from the engine as the Russian Airlines Airbus was en route to Rostov where they take on Uruguay on Wednesday.
An official statement read from the football association read: "The Saudi Football Federation wishes to reassure everyone about the safety of all members of the mission of the national team after a minor technical malfunction in an engine.
"The plane landed a few minutes ago at Rostov on Don Airport, and UNOMIG personnel are now safely heading to their residence."
The plane was a Russian Airlines Airbus A319-100 and no one was hurt in the terrifying incident.
The players then filmed themselves calmly leaving the stricken jet.
They next take on Uruguay after a chastening 5-0 loss to hosts Russia on Thursday.
