Benjamin Mendy put the hosts ahead in the 13th minute, before Andre-Pierre Gignac doubled the lead from the penalty spot just before the half-hour mark.

An error from Steve Mandanda contributed to Uros Spajic's goal before the break, although he knew little about it as the ball deflected off him from a free kick.

However, there was to be no second-half comeback, as Jose Anigo's men put their name in the hat for the quarter-final draw.
