Wales’ hopes of reaching the inaugural FIH Women’s Nations Cup 2 final were dashed by Uruguay in Walcz, Poland.
The South Americans came back from 1-0 down to secure their spot in Sunday’s final.
Wales will instead go on to face the loser of Saturday’s second semi-final, France or hosts Poland (17:45 BST) for third place on Sunday. Uruquay will take on the winners.
Anja Atkin struck first for Wales, in the second quarter but Manuela Vilar levelled and Teresa Viana ensured her side’s win with a third quarter penalty stroke.
