Racing Luxembourg C controlled Basket Esch B 88-68, building the gap early and managing each response the visitors produced. The hosts stamped a 25-13 first quarter, sparked by a barrage from deep by Mathieu Delaplace, and held Esch at arm's length in Q2 to reach 43-28 at the half.
Esch's best spell arrived right after the break: a 9-0 run (Kohn, Neuen, Latinovic) trimmed it to 46-40 and briefly tilted momentum. Racing answered immediately through Drini Manjani and Mattia Coghetto, restoring a double-digit cushion for 64-52 after three. The game broke open in the fourth: from 68-55, Racing strung a 13-0 run to 81-55, with Coghetto stringing together baskets and Delaplace adding another triple. The largest lead reached +26 (84-58), and the gap held to the buzzer.
Standouts for Racing: Delaplace finished with 19 and set the early tone; Manjani also had 19 and significant scoring stretches before fouling out; Coghetto (30, ITA) closed the game with 17, including a late three; Pierre Philippe Andr Petit added 12. For Esch, Marko Latinovic led with 21, Jeremy Fischbach added 10, while Fabien Vandler (18, 1.85m) brought energy and 8 points; Kohn chipped in 8 and Jules Frdric Neuen 7.
A few technicals punctuated the most physical phases (notably in Q2 and Q3), and the time-outs from Franck Meriguet at 7' of Q1 and Tom Muller at 4' of Q2 framed the key swings. In the table context, Racing Luxembourg C jump to 4th (+5) at 4-2 and extend their winning streak to four. Basket Esch B remain 10th and suffer a third straight defeat.
