Jack Healy scored East Fife's late equaliser against St Johnstone
Jack Healy's equaliser deep into stoppage time sent St Johnstone crashing out of the Premier Sports Cup - and East Fife's bonus-point via the penalty shoot-out was also not enough for the visitors to progress.
The Scottish League 1 side finish runners-up behind Inverness Caledonian Thistle in Group F, but goal difference means they will not be one of the best runners-up.
Sam Stanton looked to have given the Premiership hosts a chance of progressing when the midfielder slotted the opening goal in the first minute of added time.
But Healy pounced on a slack pass out of the home defence and the midfielder secured a point for the League 1 side four minutes later.
Stanton, Jamie Gullan and Ruari Paton all had efforts saved in the first half, with Logan Chalmers and Macauley Tait denied by goalkeeper Derek Gaston.
It was backs to the wall for the part-timers, Brian Easton's early header saved by Toby Steward was their only threat until that dramatic finish.
