AS Soleuvre controlled this M-U14 Division 1 opener from the first minutes and won clearly at Basket Esch, 107-44. The visitors are now 2nd in the classification, while Esch is 3rd after one game each.
The game turned very early. After 2-2, Soleuvre produced an 8-0 push led by Louis Ferrai (SOL), who scored eight early points, and the visitors closed the first quarter on an 11-0 run for 23-5. That first separation shaped the evening.
The second quarter increased the gap. Soleuvre opened it with another basket for a 13-0 run across the quarter break, then added a 12-0 burst from 25-8 to 37-8. At halftime, coach Michel Dias Gonavles' team was already in full control, 52-14, with good balance in scoring and steady pressure.
Basket Esch had some better moments through Mahir Adrovic (LAL) and captain Wu Michel Ocean N'Goran (LAL), but Soleuvre kept answering. The third quarter was decisive again: the visitors finished it with 10 unanswered points and went to 85-22. Their highest lead reached 66 points in the fourth period.
To Esch's credit, coach Damien Thill's side reacted in the last quarter and matched Soleuvre 22-22. Samuel Vidal Martins (LAL) had a personal 7-0 sequence in that stretch, and Adrovic stayed productive to the end.
