Angers beat Guingamp for 1st Cup final in 60 years

Angers - Angers returned to the Coupe de France final for the first time since its only other appearance 60 years ago with a 2-0 semi-final victory over Guingamp on Tuesday.

Thomas Mangani opened the scoring for the hosts at a packed out Raymond Kopa stadium seven minutes before half-time.

Winner in 2009 and 2014, Guingamp was offered a lifeline two minutes from time when Cheikh Ndoye was controversially penalised for a non-existant handball in the area.

But goalkeeper Alexandre Letellier saved Jimmy Briand's penalty and Karl Toko Ekambi sealed the win in injury time.

After losing 6-3 to Toulouse in the 1957 final, Angers will now, finally, get a second bite at the cherry against either Paris Saint-Germain or Monaco, who face off at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday.
