MONACO (AP) — Monaco's poor start to the French league season continued Friday after being held to a 1-1 home draw by promoted Nimes.
Leonardo Jardim's side has only one win from the opening six games and is nine points behind league leader Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the defending champion's trip to Rennes on Sunday.
Monaco finished runner-up to PSG last season.
It might have been even worse for Jardim's team, with Antonin Bobichon going close in injury time as Nimes threatened an upset.
