Guingamp and Evian TG have played out a goalless first half in Ligue 1, although the home side have had the better of the action.

The hosts got off to a fine start and could have been ahead inside the opening minute, but Thibault Giresse's shot did not have enough power to beat Jesper Hansen in the away goal.

Evian were not in the game at all, but their rigid shape was proving hard for Guingamp to break down. Rachid Alioui came close with a shot from distance, but it never looked like beating Hansen.

Alioui and Hansen's battle continued with 10 minutes of the first half to play, but the forward's next effort, although on target, did not beat the goalkeeper.
