Racing Luxembourg controlled this M-U14 Division 2 Phase finale game from the opening minutes and won 93-56 away at Sparta Bertrange B.
Coach Christian Nittler's team started with a 10-0 run before Sparta got on the board. Sparta settled through 13-year-old Slovenian Oskar Nagy (Season PPG: 9.95), who scored 7 of his team's first 9 points and helped cut the gap to 14-9. Racing still closed the first quarter in front, 24-16, with good inside production from Alejandro Cuesta Jaramillo and Francesco Ratti (RAC).
The game swung sharply in the second quarter. Racing opened the period with 6 straight points for 30-16, and after Sparta had reduced the score to 34-23, the visitors finished the half on a decisive 14-0 run to reach 48-23. That sequence gave Racing full control of the game.
Racing kept the pressure after the break. Cuesta Jaramillo, a 13-year-old Spaniard (Season PPG: 19.40), stayed on a roll and repeatedly finished inside, while Ratti and Gabriel Guillen added efficient support. Sparta had a better offensive stretch in the third quarter, with Charel Didlinger (Season PPG: 7.67), Nagy and Giovanni Vena contributing, but the deficit was still 66-38 after three periods.
The fourth quarter remained open in pace, yet Racing never let Sparta threaten. The lead peaked at 41 points late in the game. Racing placed five players in double figures: Cuesta Jaramillo 26, Jules Hélie Payen Morolli (Season PPG: 6.18) 12, Ratti (RAC) 12, Henrik Alfred Piirsalu (Season PPG: 11.57) 11 and Jean Georges Pongas (Season PPG: 7.67) 10. For Sparta, Nagy led with 17 and Didlinger added 11.
