USSA Vertou U19 1–2 Guingamp U19: Visitors Rally to Snatch Late Win

Guingamp U19 showed character and resilience in a 2–1 away victory over USSA Vertou U19 on 10 May 2026. The French U19 Youth League clash saw the hosts take an early lead, only for Guingamp to turn the match around with two second‑half goals.

Vertou’s Bright Start

Vertou came flying out of the blocks and stunned Guingamp by scoring in the 11th minute. A long ball over the top was chased down, and the forward’s lobbed effort caught the advancing goalkeeper off his line. The home side then dropped deep, inviting Guingamp to control possession.

Guingamp’s Response

Guingamp grew into the game towards the end of the first half, but were unable to find an equaliser before the break. In the 52nd minute, they finally broke through: a scrappy goal from a corner, with the ball falling kindly for a midfielder to poke home. The winner came in the 79th minute when a quick interchange on the edge of the box opened up space for a curling shot into the far corner.
