Rennes took the lead in the 69th with a header from US defender Carlos Bocanegra from a free kick by Bruno Cheyrou.

Unfortunately today was not the day for the good side and it was the Guingamp squad who got to raise the cup high this time as Guingamp equalized three minutes later when Eduardo pounced on a poor clearance from Rennes defender Petter Hansson to shoot past goalkeeper Nicolas Douchez.
