Jon McLaughlin's gold medal hopes at the World Student Games in Serbia have been dashed in a penalty shoot-out.
The City keeper saved the decisive spot-kick against France earlier in the week to put Great Britain through to the semi-finals.
But he finished on the wrong end of another tense finale as Ukraine edged into the final 6-5 on penalties.
Again the game had finished goalless after 120 minutes, which means McLaughlin has gone more than six hours of action without conceding.
He still has a chance of a medal when Britain take on Japan in the bronze match tomorrow.
