Cedric Bakambu created the game's first real chance as he let fly with a long-range effort, which had to be kept out of the bottom corner by the Lyon goalkeeper.
Bakambu wasted a great chance minutes later when he headed over from Cedric Kante's cross, before Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette lashed a shot just wide of the post as the hosts looked to respond.
Lyon picked up the pace after the break and took the lead through Grenier, who was able to convert from a free kick with a right-footed shot into the top-left corner.
The hosts then doubled their advantage in the 75th minute as midfielder Gourcuff crashed home a right-footed shot from the left side of the box, leaving the final score to end 2-0.
