Scotland run the risk of ending an otherwise successful 2013 with four straight defeats, as they will now play Canada - not Chile - in their last Brasilia International Tournament match on Sunday.
The Scots lost a thrilling game 4-3 to a vibrant young Chile side on Wednesday night, while Canada were held 0-0 by Brazil. The results mean it will be an all-South American final, with the Canadians and Scotland playing for third and fourth places.
Chile emerged triumphant on Wednesday - and Glasgow City midfielder Leanne Ross won her 100th cap - but while the Scots would have been confident of reversing the result in a rematch, they instead face a much tough proposition in Canada. The 2015 Women's World Cup hosts also lost to the previously unheralded Chileans, but beat Scotland comfortably in the opening game of the tournament.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
