AB Contern responded well after its previous loss and beat Résidence Walferdange 81-57 at home, moving up to 2nd place in M-U14 Division 2 Phase 1 (+1). Walferdange dropped to 5th (-1) after a second straight defeat.
The game turned very early. After Walferdange had edged in front 5-2, Contern changed the rhythm and closed the first quarter on an 27-2 surge for a 29-7 lead. That stretch decided much of the evening. Coach Jan Piechocki's team kept control in the second period and pushed the margin to 48-13 at halftime. The lead then peaked at 38 points early in the fourth quarter at 68-30.
Contern's main offensive force was 13-year-old David Lopes Meysembourg (CON), who finished with 35 points and kept finding scoring runs in every phase of the game. Felix Zoller (CON) added 16, including key baskets during the first-quarter breakaway, while Naël Hussain Teixeira (CON) scored 8. Pierre Patrick Joseph Levaldaur (CON) had 6, and Leandro Almeida Cardoso (CON) contributed 7.
Walferdange had two clear leaders. Joaquym Branyan Questier (RES) produced 24 points and was especially active in the last quarter, while captain Robert Nicula (RES) added 18. They helped Walferdange play a much better second half, including a 27-point fourth quarter and an even third period at 17-17, but the gap created before halftime was too large. Nicula also had to manage foul trouble throughout and eventually fouled out late, which limited Walferdange's chances of making the scoreline tighter.
