1971 Coupe de France final
The Coupe de France Final 1971 was a football match held at Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir, Colombes on June 20, 1971, that saw Stade Rennais defeat Olympique Lyonnais 1-0 thanks to a goal by André Guy.
Match Summary
In an overall average game opposing two teams disposed in a 4-4-2 formation, the break came from a penalty scored by ex-Lyon player André Guy, transferred to Rennes in December 1970, after a questionable foul by Robert Valette. The referee, Mr. Vigilani had previously disallowed a goal by André Betta (58') for Rennes due to an offside position by Robert Rico.[1]
This win was Rennes' second Coupe de France victory, their first win having come in 1965 against Sedan-Torcy. For their fourth Coupe de France Final, Lyon suffered their second loss, the first having been against Monco in 1963.
This was the last Coupe de France final to be played at the Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir in Colombes, as the final was played at the Parc des Princes from 1972 to 1997, and since 1998 has been played at the Stade de France.
