Hayange-Marspic edged Black Frogs Schieren 59-50 in Schieren after flipping a double-digit deficit with a strong second half. The hosts exploded out of the blocks, leading 18-8 after Q1 and reaching a 12-point cushion at 17-5 behind solid minutes from Ayoub (FRO) and Milo Reiser (15). Coach Nigel Tolentino's group kept control to halftime (29-25).
FRO briefly reasserted themselves mid-Q3: Mathis Kraus (FRO) hit a three and a two on back-to-back trips for a 40-32 lead. Hayange answered with a 7-0 run to close the quarter 40-39. Early in Q4, Matteo Weydert (HAY) and David Bemten (HAY) pushed the visitors ahead before a pivotal 8-0 burst Yannis Pividor (HAY) from deep, then Sam Scaeffer (HAY) inside made it 49-42. Reiser's triple cut it to 51-47, but Finn Diederic (HAY) strung together five straight points (2+1), and Hayange finished it off despite an unsportsmanlike foul on Tim Sciltz (HAY). From 32-40 down, the visitors closed on a 27-10 tear and even led by 12 late (47-59).
Top performers: Scaeffer (HAY) 18 (seven 2FGM, one 3FG), Diederic (HAY) 13, Tristan Fievez (HAY) 8, Pividor (HAY) 7. For Schieren, Ayoub (FRO) 11, Reiser (15) 9, Kraus (FRO) 6 with that third-quarter spark. FRO starter Joshua Dos Santos (FRO) fouled out, which shortened the rotation late. Coaches: Aziz Ndiaye's timeouts steadied Hayange in Q1; Tolentino's Frogs started fast but couldn't stem the late run.
