USA 1-3 Great Britain

Great Britain men's seven-a-side bowed out with a 3-1 victory against the USA in the 7-8 classification match.

At 1-1 after 60 minutes, the match went into extra time.

Team GB dominated much of the game, but failed to capitalise on their superior shooting statistics.

Rene Renteria put the US ahead with their first goal of the tournament, as GB's Billy Thompson got caught in possession.

Great Britain's danger man Michael Barker levelled the scores just before half time, but neither side could make a breakthrough in the second half.

In extra time, Ibz Diallo brought the crowd to its feet with a super strike, giving Britain the lead in the 70th minute.

George Fletcher added a third in the 73rd minute, finishing nicely from a tight angle.
