In this Phase finale return game 4, first-ranked Vibball Luxembourg controlled most of the evening and beat fourth-ranked Mambra Mamer B 83-59. VBE stayed unbeaten at 8-0 and extended its overall winning streak to 15 games. It was also a second clear win over MAMB after the 99-46 result in the first meeting.
Mambra opened well and went 4-0 up through Emanuel Palai, but coach Ildiko Vass' team reacted quickly. After a 13-13 tie late in the first quarter, Vibball closed the period with 8 straight points for 21-13. That run continued into the second quarter, becoming a 14-0 stretch and giving VBE a 27-13 advantage.
Coach Arnaud Stirn's side had some answers. Valentin Oury kept MAMB alive, and Luka Boskovic's three-pointer reduced the gap to 24-35. Still, Vibball answered again with a 7-0 burst and reached halftime in front 42-28.
The third quarter brought Mambra's best push. Arda Selim Isiklar scored 6 points in a row, and Matei Teodor Stanga added inside to cut the deficit to 38-50. The reply was immediate from 15-year-old Spaniard Benjamin Mafolo Ondekane (Season PPG: 35.50), who scored 10 points in the quarter, including a three, and helped VBE keep control at 60-45.
Early in the fourth, an unsportsmanlike foul on Mafolo Ondekane helped MAMB score 4 straight points and get to 49-60, but Vibball never let the game become tight. Jeremi Adamski (Season PPG: 16.13) and Mafolo Ondekane drove the final separation, and VBE reached its highest lead at the end.
Top scorers for MAMB were Oury (Season PPG: 16.33) with 15, Palai (Season PPG: 9.10) with 12 and Isiklar (Season PPG: 11.77) with 8. For VBE, Mafolo Ondekane finished with 34, Adamski 25 and Gustaw Karwacki (Season PPG: 15.92) 10. Adamski had an especially clean game with 25 points and no foul recorded.
