Amicale Steesel edged Kordall Steelers 83-79 in Steinsel after a late surge. Kordall burst out 9-0 and led 14-2, taking the first quarter 26-16. With Erik Thomas Timko (24, 1.93m, USA) hot after the break he strung together seven straight Kordall points early in the third the visitors stretched the gap to a game-high +15 (52-67) and were up 69-59 after three.
Amicale flipped the script with a 10-0 start to the fourth: Ashton Lee Sherrell (25, USA) hit two free throws, Sean Bugeja (19, 1.85m) buried a three, Sherrell added inside points, and Noah Medeot (26, 1.79m) tied it from deep (69-69). Timko briefly answered with a triple, but Bob Rech (20, 1.93m) replied with another three for 74-72. The lead then changed hands on almost every trip Steve Kuhlmann (35, 1.92m) from long range for 74-75, Bugeja for 76-75, Gianluca Pellegrino (33, 1.91m, ESP) to 76-77 before Sherrell's corner three put Amicale ahead 79-78. Pellegrino tied it at 79-79 from the line, only for Sherrell to score again for 81-79 and Malcolm Wesley Richardson (31, USA) to add the final basket.
Sherrell powered Amicale with 28 points (7 free throws, 9 twos, 1 three), supported by Richardson's 16 (7 free throws). Alex Laurent (32, 1.98m) added 10, Bugeja 8, Rech 6 (two threes) and Medeot 5 with a crucial late triple. For Kordall, Timko led with 26 (six 2s, five 3s, one free throw), helped by Kuhlmann's 15, Robertas Jonaitis (25, 1.94m, LTU) with 14, Pellegrino's 10 and Anderson Borbon (32, 1.88m) with 6. Pellegrino finished on four fouls; no player fouled out.
Game evolution decided it: Kordall's early 9-0 and third-quarter control met an Amicale response of 10-0 to open the fourth and a composed 4-0 close. Coach Daniel Alves Brandão de Sousa rotated timely shooters in the last period, while Antonio Alexandre Bento dos Reis Pires' side could not convert their double-digit cushion into a road win.
