Arcus/NSPA took control progressively in Capellen and beat Société Générale-SES 76-51. SOG started 2-0, but Michail KOURIS (ACU) changed the tone immediately: he scored ACU's first 8 points and hit back-to-back three-pointers for an 8-2 lead. SOG stayed close through Sofiane BAH (SOG) and Eleazare AFFA (SOG), yet ACU still closed the first quarter ahead 21-16.
The decisive stretch came in the second period. After SOG had reduced the gap to 30-23, Tony MARTINS FERREIRA (ACU) caught fire with 9 points in a row, all from three-point range, and Luc KIRSCH (ACU) added two more for an 11-0 run to 41-23. That sequence gave ACU clear control, and the home side reached halftime with a solid 42-27 advantage.
SOG reacted after the break. Mohamed Hakim HAMMAMI (SOG) hit two three-pointers in the third quarter, while BAH kept producing inside, and the deficit was cut to 50-39. ACU answered calmly: Kevin BREUSKIN (ACU) scored, then Ricardas UZELKA (ACU) added a three to push the score to 55-39 at the end of the quarter.
Early in the fourth, ACU extended that momentum to 7 straight points across the quarter break and never allowed real pressure. AFFA reached 14 points but also picked up his fourth foul, which made the task harder for SOG. KOURIS then led another strong stretch and finished with 26 points, including six three-pointers. BAH led SOG with 20 points, AFFA added 14 and HAMMAMI 8. For ACU, Benoît KRAUS scored 10 and MARTINS FERREIRA 9. The final 25-point margin was also the game's highest lead.
