First-ranked Vibball Luxembourg controlled this Phase finale return game from the opening minutes and beat fifth-ranked Black Frogs Schieren 125-52, a much wider margin than in the first meeting between the teams (58-44).
The game changed shape very early. After Black Frogs answered for 2-2, Vibball went on an 18-0 run to 20-2.

Schieren had a better second quarter offensively. Dilson Eduardo Furtado Correia finished well around the basket, while Félix Bouzidi and Micah Joshua Libang also scored. But every home push was answered. Benjamin Mafolo Ondekane, the 15-year-old guard from Spain (Season PPG: 34.33), gave Vibball another gear with 9 points in the quarter, and Adamski kept the pressure on. At halftime, Vibball was already up 64-25.
Mathis Kraus opened the third quarter with a three-pointer for Black Frogs, but Vibball replied at once through Foz Moutinho from long range and kept expanding the gap. Matthew Jacob Libang (Season PPG: 8.57) was productive for Schieren and matched his season high with 14 points, yet Mafolo Ondekane continued to dictate the scoring rhythm. Vibball led 94-40 after three.
The last quarter followed the same pattern. Vibball passed 100 quickly and reached its highest lead at the final buzzer, +73. Mafolo Ondekane scored 36, Adamski 24 and equaled his season best, Foz Moutinho added 24, and 13-year-old Mustafa Yakta Inal from Turkey contributed 15. For Black Frogs, Libang scored 14, Furtado Correia 12, while Kraus and Bouzidi added 10 each.
