Coupe de la Ligue Review: Lille, Guingamp strike late to progress

A 1-0 win over Laval saw Lille pick up their fourth consecutive victory under new manager Frederic Antonetti and advance to the quarter-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue.

Defender Djibril Sidibe was the match-winner, breaking the deadlock 11 minutes from time at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy to seal the win against second-tier Laval on Tuesday.

Lille have now won four out of their five games since Antonetti replaced Herve Renard last month.

Guingamp came from behind twice before settling their last-16 tie with a 4-3 penalty shoot-out win over Nice, after scores were level 2-2 at the end of extra time.

Salibur was the hero as he converted the winning penalty to book Guingamp's spot in the last eight.
