Second-ranked Basket Esch C kept its perfect start and extended its winning run to four games with a clear 79-34 road win over sixth-placed Les Sangliers Wooltz, who are still looking for a first success after four rounds.
The game stayed open only briefly. Wooltz was still close at 7-8, mainly through Elisio Monteiro (SAN), but Esch then took full control with a decisive 17-0 run to close the first quarter at 24-7. That first break already set the tone. Coach Roger Do Rosario's side followed with another strong second period, winning it 18-5 for a 42-12 halftime lead.
Esch's attack was balanced and constant. Yanis Jacques Enzo Allou N'Da (LALC) and Alim Durovic (LALC) both scored 17 points, Gabriel Stefan Kühne Meza (LALC) added 13, captain Redzep Ramovic (LALC) had 12, and Sabahudin Dulic (LALC) finished with 8. Four Esch players reached double figures, and the visitors kept pressure on in every quarter.
The third quarter did not change the pattern. Durovic and Allou N'Da kept the lead moving, while Wooltz depended heavily on Monteiro. In the fourth, Kühne Meza was on a roll and Esch pushed the margin to its highest level of the game, 75-26, a 49-point lead.
For Wooltz, Monteiro (SAN) produced the clear standout line with 26 points, including the team's only three-pointer. He scored 76.5% of all Sangliers points. Ruben Gonçalves Silva (SAN) added 6 points, and Aaron Ngatcha (SAN) 2. Coach Lara Graglia's team did answer late with an 8-2 reaction from 26-75 to 34-77, but Esch answered once more before the end.
There was also an early foul sequence on the Esch side, with Ennicky Semedo da Veiga (LALC) collecting three fouls in the first quarter, but the visitors' depth prevented any disruption.
