PARIS, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Ten-man Monaco were knocked out of the League Cup semi-finals by En Avant Guingamp, losing 5-4 on penalties after the game had ended in a 2-2 draw in Leonardo Jardim's first match back in charge on Tuesday.
Strugglers Monaco went 2-0 up despite being one man down early on, but finished the match exhausted as Guingamp forced a shootout to reach the final against either Racing Strasbourg or Girondins de Bordeaux in Lille on March 30.
Monaco's William Vainqueur was sent off after 14 minutes for a dangerous tackle but the visitors stayed focused and went ahead four minutes later when Rony Lopes found the back of the net with an overhead kick.
