AS Soleuvre B controlled their friendly in Zolwer, beating BBC Dikrich 77-54 after building the lead quarter by quarter (18-12, 27-16, 17-9, 15-17). Dikrich opened 0-3 through Daniel Mancini, but Coach Hervé Marie-Rose's side answered with a 10-2 swing to 10-5 and never trailed again.
The second quarter decided the tone: from 22-17, Soleuvre strung together an 8-0 burst Sandro Sanches Gomes Junior (21, PRT) for two, then Kieran Nono with three straight baskets pushing it to 30-17. By halftime it was 45-28. After the break Soleuvre delivered a 12-3 run (Rainjay Maturan's triple, Charel Diedenhofen for four more, free throws by Sanches, and inside finishes from Ibrahim Hasic) to 57-33, the gap peaking at +28 twice (71-43, then 77-49). Dikrich took the fourth 17-15 for cosmetics.
Soleuvre spread the scoring: Hasic led with 15, Diedenhofen (19, 1.97m) had 14, Nono 12, Sanches 12, and Rayane Haddi 11 (including a personal 5-0 in the third). Loris Grethen added 5 with a fourth-quarter three; Maturan hit from deep as well.
Edson Monteiro Neves paced Dikrich with 17 and buried a third-quarter three, but his U1 unsportsmanlike in the second came amid Soleuvre's surge. Support came from David Owen Dakeu Ngaha (7), Emerson Medina Vezo (6), and Jordan Roberto Rocha (5). Early foul trouble didn't help: Medina Vezo picked up two P2 fouls in the first quarter, while Ruben Pereira Rodrigues finished with four.
Coach Endrit Shala's team briefly led and kept competing, yet Soleuvre's consistent half-court execution and runs in Q2 and early Q3 settled the game long before the final horn.
