Coupe de France

Apr 25, 2017 5:06:02 PM

Angers reached their first Coupe de France final in 60 years in dramatic circumstances thanks to a 2-0 win over Guingamp.

Alexandre Letellier's 89th-minute penalty save helped Angers into the Coupe de France final before Karl Toko Ekambi capped a dramatic conclusion in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Guingamp.

For much of a turgid affair at Stade Raymond Kopa, Thomas Mangani's well-taken goal shortly before half-time looked to have settled this semi-final.

But in a remarkable finish, Guingamp - Coupe de France winners in 2009 and 2014 - were awarded a spot-kick when Angers captain Cheikh Ndoye was adjudged to have handled a cross when the ball struck him squarely in the stomach.
