BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - Boca Juniors played out a 0-0 draw Sunday at Newell’s Old Boys as the second-half of Argentina’s split season opened.

It was a lackluster match, the most controversial moment coming in 34th minute when referee Mauro Vigliano declined to call what looked like a penalty by Juan Forlin against Maxi Rodriguez.
