Basket Esch left deichwisen/central with a 0-20 road win over Etzella Ettelbruck, a result recorded without any on-court action. After captains were named (Marvin Delgado Dos Santos for Etzella, Luka Stankovic for Esch) and both starting fives were listed, the game flow showed no scoring or fouls before the contest was signaled ended and awarded to Esch.

The projected starters under Coach Gavin Alexander Love were Oke, Domingos Sanches, Lopes Morais, Delgado Dos Santos and Bieux for Etzella; Coach Dejan Pavlovic tabbed Fischbach, Gunia, Cessat, Jaeger and Kouamedjouo for Esch. No minutes or statistics were logged.

Context matters in the standings. Esch climbs to 5th (4-8, 12 games; ranking gain +1), while Etzella sits 7th (3-7, 10 games) with one forfeit now on record. The result also flips the head-to-head dynamic after Etzella had taken the first meeting 83-72. Esch, who had been navigating a stretch of defeats earlier in the season, returns to the win column; Etzella could not build on their previous victory.

Individually, there was no opportunity to impact box scores, but Etzella's captain Delgado Dos Santos (Season PPG: 16.9), a 16-year-old guard at 1.90m, and José Miguel Domingos Sanches (Season PPG: 10.11, 1.76m) remain their main scoring references. For Esch, Matt Jaeger (Season PPG: 8.0) and Raphaël Cessat (19, FRA; Season PPG: 6.3) have been steady contributors. Coaches Pavlovic and Love will now look ahead, with Etzella aiming to reset quickly and Esch hoping this administrative win steadies their position in the qualification round.
