Defending champions Argentina and Spain were locked at 0-0 at half-time in the World Cup final on Sunday.
The European champions shaded possession at the MetLife Stadium in a game of few clear-cut chances.
Teenager Lamine Yamal had an early effort while Mikel Oyarzabal shot straight at Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez later in the opening period.
New Real Madrid signing Marc Cucurella came close for Spain as he flashed a shot across goal shortly before half-time.
