Canada beat Spain (88-85) in the decisive match to reach the quarter-finals. The current world and European champion says goodbye to the 2023 World Cup of basketball.

The Spanish team came very close to knocking off Canada, one of the favorites to lift the trophy, but in the end they were defeated (85-88) in a life-or-death match that was decided in the final stages of the last quarter and that has left the current champion on the street.

It is the first time that the Spanish team has not reached the quarter-finals since the World Cup was played in this format.
