Colombia striker Radamel Falcao scored from long range but also missed a string of chances as Monaco's poor start in Ligue 1 continued with a 1-1 home draw against Nimes on Friday.
The result left Monaco, last season's French league runners-up, in 12th place on six points from as many games, while Nimes are seventh with eight points after an entertaining clash in the principality.
Centre-back Anthony Briancon fired the visitors into a 19th-minute lead with a powerful header from six metres after Antonin Bobichon whipped in an inch-perfect free kick from the right.
Falcao equalised with a trademark goal eight minutes later, rifling a deflected low shot into the bottom right corner of the net from 25 metres after picking up a loose ball and side-stepping his marker.
