Argentina and Ecuador have shared a goalless draw in their international friendly match at the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey.

Alejandro Sabella's men enjoyed 82% of possession but could not find a goal that would have won them the game.

Antonio Valencia nearly broke the deadlock in the 12th minute, but the crossbar came to the rescue.

Maxi Rodriguez came close to beating Alexander Dominguez with two minutes remaining, but he too was foiled by the woodwork.

Dominguez had already made saves to deny Rodrigo Palacio and Angel di Maria in what turned out to be a frustrating encounter for the two-time world champions.
