Sparta then closed the first quarter 26-11 and made the decisive push before halftime: from 28-11, they went to 44-14 and took a 50-16 lead into the break.
The second and third quarters were especially hard for Mess, limited to only 5 points in each period. Sparta's pressure and depth showed throughout coach Dimitrios Paspaltzis' rotations, and the lead kept growing from 50-16 to 76-21 after three quarters. The highest lead reached 76 points at the final buzzer.
Agarwal (13) was the main offensive force with 25 points. Giovanni Vena (13) added 17 and caught fire in the second half, while Ivano Zelic (13) and Charel Didlinger (12) gave Sparta constant interior production. Ioannis Paspaltzis (12) finished with 11, including Sparta's first 3-pointer, and Liam Ammermann (13) scored 10. Captain Oskar Nagy (13) had 10 points before fouling out in the fourth quarter.
For Mess, Rayan Macedo Mendes (12) stood out with 13 points and carried much of the scoring load early. Oscar Deviscour (10) and captain Aziel Flavien Kemevuako (11) both scored 5, while Noé Koroglanoglou (12) and Hugo Deviscour (12) added 4 each.
Mess stayed competitive only in short stretches, but Sparta controlled the rhythm for most of the game and kept adding points in waves, especially through Agarwal early and Vena later.
