EAST RUTHERFORD, United States (AFP) — 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.
