The 2009 and 2014 winners Guingamp were awarded a controversial penalty as Angers midfielder Cheikh Ndoye was penalised for handling ball inside the box, while their top scorer Jimmy Briand's effort was denied by Angers goalkeeper Alexandre Letellier.
Karl Toko Ekambi sealed the win for Angers in stoppage time.
In the centennial tournament's final, Angers will face Wednesday's winner between Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco at the Parc des Princes.
