With scores locked at 1-1 after a chaotic 90 minutes and extra time, City skipper Rebekah Stott had the chance to seal victory at 4-4 in the penalty shootout in front of a hostile crowd in Wuhan.
But Stott fired a shot tamely straight at Wuhan goalkeeper Chen Chen.
Zhao Yuxin put Wuhan in front and Chen saved Bryleeh Henry's penalty to seal a remarkable shootout victory 5-4.
The defeat cost City $2 million in prize money and players had been in line to receive around $47,000 each.
Instead, the players each claim about $23,000 as runners-up, with the club's prize money approximately $1.25 million.
