Question 1270: For the lesser good

Teams X and Y both have groups A and B. Team X's group A and team Y's group A have something in common. Similarly, team X's group B and team Y's group B have something in common too. For both X and Y, group B is a proper subset of group A. Do not identify X and Y, it is pretty self evident from the players. No need to identify all the players either.

Put funda regarding this. I am looking for a very spiecific 3 word phrase or something that describes it.
Team X

Team Y

Answer: The Battle of Nuremberg. It is the nickname of a football match played in Round 2 of the 2006 FIFA World Cup between Portugal and the Netherlands at the Frankenstadion in Nuremberg on 25 June 2006.
