Basket Esch controlled this U16 friendly from the first minutes and beat Aumetz 79-23 after building the game quarter by quarter at 27-8, 45-18 and 61-23. The start was still level at 2-2, but Esch quickly changed the pace. A 10-2 spell gave the home side a first clear cushion at 12-4, and after Aumetz had stayed in touch at 17-8, Esch closed the opening period with 10 unanswered points for 27-8.
That momentum continued into the second quarter. Esch pushed the lead to 29-8 before Aumetz answered through Margaux Kapp (AUM) and Elisa Noel (AUM). The visitors had their best stretch there, but Basket Esch answered again, especially through Jana Lucius (LAL), Emma Muratovic (LAL) and Yara Tavares Dias (LAL), and went into halftime with a 27-point margin.
The third quarter confirmed the same pattern. Aumetz still found points from Noel and Mathilde Guillaume (AUM), yet Esch kept producing inside, with Lucius, Muratovic, Diana Costa de Sousa (LAL) and Giulya Fiore (LAL) maintaining control. Coach Birchen's team then finished with a one-sided fourth quarter, 18-0, and the highest lead reached 56 points.
Lucius led Esch with 19 points, including the team's only three-pointer, while Costa de Sousa and Muratovic both added 14. Tavares Dias scored 10 and Fiore 9, showing the home team's scoring depth. For Aumetz, Noel was the main scorer with 10 points, Guillaume added 6 and captain Kapp had 4. Esch also had several short personal runs, and their strong finish left Aumetz scoreless in the last period.
