The game's first chance fell to Guingamp when Yatabare's header from the centre of the box flew wide of the post, following a teasing cross from Jonathan Pereira.

Yatabare was in again as the striker saw his left-footed shot from outside the box saved in the bottom left corner, after he was played in by Thibault Giresse's headed pass.

In a first half dominated by the hosts, Guingamp should have gone into the break 1-0 up, but Mana Dembele saw his header somehow saved at the bottom corner, with Giresse the architect again.

The home side thought that they were about to take the lead with 15 minutes to play when Claudio Beauvue got above his defender, but the resulting header was sent straight at the goalkeeper.

With the game looking to be headed for a draw, Yatabare had other ideas as he fired home from close range to give Guingamp all three points on the night.
