Team GB missed out on a medal in the over-45 Football competition at the Pan American Maccabi Games after losing a penalty shoot-out against America.
Having lost 2-1 to America in the round-robin phase, GB matched their opponents with a goal from Laurence Beck ensuring the match would be settled on spot-kicks.
Playing against a very strong wind GB struggled early on and it was no surprise when the US took the lead on 10 minutes through a fine strike.
With several walking wounded Great Britain were finding it hard to impose themselves and soon lost keeper Dan Jacobs to injury. The rest of the side battled on and had a few half-chances; Abrahams impressing with his strong running and never-say-die attitude. However, clear chances were few and far between.
Daryl Lazarus was next to fall, his hamstring giving way, but his brother Bradley defied an injury of his own to fight on for the cause.
With the wind at his back he drove two long-range free-kicks but neither effort troubled the keeper. Soon after a corner caused mayhem when it swung in and came off the bar.
There was a lot of huffing and puffing but no real sights of goal until, entering injury time, Danny Schweiger powered a header forward where Laurence Beck jumped, collected it on his chest before swinging a volley that arrowed into the top corner to spark joyous scenes.
There were no further goals in 20 minutes of extra-time and Brad Lazarus, Laurence Swerner and Darren Dryer failed to convert as went home empty-handed.
