League leaders Mambra Mamer, now 3-0 with a third straight win, controlled this M-U16 Division 3 game from the opening minutes and beat 5th-placed Sparta Bertrange B 100-50. Coach N'Guessan's team set the tone early: after 2-2, Mamer built a 13-4 edge, then closed the first quarter on a 19-3 stretch for 32-7.
The second quarter brought the decisive break. Sparta cut it to 32-9, but Mamer answered with 16 unanswered points to reach 48-9. Sparta then had its best spell of the half with a 10-0 run to 48-19, before Mamer finished strongly again. Arda Selim Isiklar (Season PPG: 23.40) scored 8 points in a row across that late sequence, helping his side to a 59-19 halftime lead.
The third quarter was more balanced at 20-16. Sparta found better rhythm through Ramon Albiol Sanchez (SPAB), Francesco Morpurgo (SPAB) and Eduard Vevecka (SPAB), but Mamer stayed in control and entered the last period up 79-35. The margin kept growing in the fourth, with the highest lead reaching 50 at the end.
Isiklar led Mamer with 25 points, while Ivan Vasiljevic (MAM) added 21, including repeated attacks in transition and around the rim. Gabriel Fihey (MAM) and Matei Teodor Stanga (MAM) both scored 14, and Konstantinos Mazarakis (MAM) had 10. Mamer had several strong personal runs, notably Isiklar late in the first half.
For Sparta, Albiol Sanchez finished with 13 points, Morpurgo added 8, and Vevecka plus Thor Wintersdorff (SPAB) each scored 6. Jack Canto (SPAB) and William Vasdo-Jensen (SPAB) gave useful support with 5 each. Sparta's best offensive passage came in the middle quarters, but the early deficit was already very heavy.
