Two-time European champions Spain and Croatia, a nation that has partially scratched an 18-year itch at EuroBasket 2013, find themselves clashing in the most particular game of the entire tournament
It is, as the cliché goes, the only game that no one wants to play in but neither of the two teams that actually play it want to lose it.
Croatia's motivation to win this contest is rather evident; This proud nation had not reached the semi-final stage since EuroBasket 1995 and now have a shot at the bronze medal.
On the opening day of Group C action in this EuroBasket, on 4 September, Spain embarrassed Croatia 68-40 in front of a sizeable contingent of travelling Croatian fans.
Croatia went on to string together an eight-game winning streak, the longest in the tournament, until they fell to Lithuania in the semi-final on Friday.
