Sparta Bertrange imposed its rhythm early in Walfer, building a 23-10 first-quarter lead and breaking the game open before halftime with two telling 9-0 bursts in the second period. Coach Yann Ewert's team led 55-24 at the break and never looked back, maintaining control through a 32-18 third quarter before closing out 113-66. The highest lead came at the horn (+47).
Petar Kulisic was the dominant figure with 40 points, fueled by 18 made two-pointers and four free throws, and he authored several mini-runs with back-to-back baskets in the third quarter that kept the gap widening. Support came from Rafael Ferreira (18) who struck multiple times from deep, Alexander Möller (15), Anton Mercier (12) and Filip Schumacher (11, including a three and two free throws). Sparta's offense spread across the rotation, yet kept a clear inside-out balance around Kulisic's paint scoring.
Résidence Walferdange fought to the end, winning the fourth quarter 24-26. Coach Steve Stéphane Alexandre leaned on three double-figure scorers: Kasparas Voska (17), Gael Dos Santos Antonio (17, with seven free throws made) and Joaquym Branyan Questier (15, including a three). Stefans Grandovskis added 10. Dos Santos Antonio, 13, was impactful but fouled out in the fourth quarter, which hindered any comeback prospects.
Game flow highlighted Sparta's sustained pressure: from 17-27 in Q2, the visitors strung a 9-0 run, and later extended 23-42 to 23-51 with another 9-0. They answered each RES push promptly, notably with Kulisic's repeated scoring spurts.
In the standings, Sparta stays perfect (5-0) on top of the M-U14 Division 1 Phase 2 and extends its winning streak to nine straight. Résidence drops to 0-5 and sits sixth.
