Furious at their defeat, fans from the Croat half of the town began smashing shop windows, before turning on police, who were forced to retaliate firing tear gas.
According to a police statement, six police officers and three fans were injured in the clashes. All six were discharged from hospital after receiving treatment.
Police spokesman Srećko Boras said that eight people had been arrested, three of whom were minors.
Meanwhile, in the Muslim half of the town, the mood was much more festive after Bosnia-Herzegovina’s 1-1 draw against Turkey, putting the home side within touching distance of the finals.
