Vibball Luxembourg controlled Kordall Steelers from the tip for a 95-30 home win in the M-U18 Division 5 Phase 2 round-robin.

The decisive stretch came right after the break: VBE dominated the third 26-5, with Isaac Foz Moutinho stringing five straight points (2+2+1) and the hosts stretching the lead beyond reach. The margin peaked at +65.
Balanced scoring and consistent pressure defined VBE's night.

For Kordall, Tomas Cerqueira Santos (Season PPG: 9.40) scored 13, connecting three times from long range. He later fouled out in the fourth quarter and picked up an unsportsmanlike (U2), a blow for an offense that leaned on his scoring. Mickael Pereira Briga (15, PRT) opened the final period with a personal 4-0 spurt from the line and a drive, while Leo Musyoka (17, KEN) added 4. Coach Micheline De Oliveira's team could not stem VBE's repeated surges despite early timeouts.
