The 2012 Coupe de la Ligue final was the 18th final of France's football league cup competition, the Coupe de la Ligue, a football competition for the 42 teams that the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) manages. The final took place on 14 April 2012 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis and was contested between Lyon and Marseille.[2][3] The latter club entered the match as the two-time defending champions of the competition and sought to become the first club in French football history to win the competition three consecutive years after previously becoming the first club to win the competition in back-to-back seasons.[3] Lyon made its first finals appearance since the 2008 Coupe de France Final and played at the Stade de France for the first time in nearly three years. The final was broadcast live on public network broadcaster France Télévisions.[4]
Marseille captured its third straight league cup title after defeating Lyon 1–0 after an extra time goal from Brandão.[5][6]
The Man of the Match award was given to Cameroonian international Nicolas N'Koulou. Marseille secured a UEFA Europa League place for the 2012–13 season.
