Samba Diba opened the scoring in the 19th minute to give the visitors an early lead, and Baptiste Mouazan doubled it just before the break, sending Grenoble in at half-time 2-0 up having created little of the play themselves. K. Fofana added a third in the 71st minute, converting an assist from Yohann Magnin to put the result beyond doubt.
