Coupe de France: Auxerre 1 Guingamp 0
Tuesday 7 April 2015 23:26, UK
Auxerre claimed a place in the final of the Coupe de France after holding on for the final 18 minutes with a man less to dump out holders Guingamp 1-0.
The home side took a 15th-minute lead through Frederic Sammaritano but were then forced to dig deep after losing Jamel Ait-Ben-Idir to a red card in the 72nd minute of the semi-final.
Guingamp, cup winners in 2009 and 2014, could not make their numerical advantage count though, and Auxerre will now have a chance to lift the trophy for the fifth time in their history.
Standing in their way in the final will be either Ligue 1 champions Paris St Germain or St Etienne, who meet in the capital on Wednesday.
