Gourvennec praises 'perfect' Guingamp

Gourvennec's men produced an excellent performance at the Stade de France on Saturday to earn a comfortable success against their Brittany rivals, securing glory in France's oldest domestic competition.

Jonathan Martins Pereira put Guingamp ahead in the 37th minute and Mustapha Yatabare ensured victory with a goal almost immediately after the break.

"We played the perfect match," Gourvennec told France 2.

"It was a good first half. It was very well controlled and we were very disciplined. Mamadou (Samassa) also made a few stops at the end.

"It was a successful final. We did what was needed. A second Coupe de France title in five years, it is not common."
