The first real opening of the contest fell to Claudio Beauvue, who found himself in the right place to get on the end of Steeven Langil's drilled cross, but his effort was deflected behind.

Jocelyn Gourvennec's side did find a breakthrough before half time, however, courtesy of Jonathan Pereira's volley past Benoit Costil into the top corner of the net.

Guingamp added a second less than a minute after the restart through Mustapha Yatabare, with the striker heading Langil's cross home to make it 2-0.

Rennes, who also lost at this stage of the competition last season, pushed for a route back into the game but they failed to find a goal, as Guingamp held out for another famous victory.
