Guingamp claim Coupe de France

Guingamp saw off Rennes 2-0 to win the Coupe de France on Saturday as a repeat of the 2009 final resulted in the same outcome.

Rennes were looking to win their first major trophy since 1971 but last season's Coupe de la Ligue runners-up were unable to end the drought, conceding a goal either side of the break.

Jonathan Martins Pereira opened the scoring for Guingamp on the 37th minute in impressive fashion, rifling a volley into the roof of the net.

And that lead was soon doubled shortly after the restart when Mustapha Yatabare headed home a cross to help his side to their second Coupe de France win in five years.
