Argentina edged out Morocco 1-0 in their friendly at the Stade Ibn Batouta in Tangier on Tuesday.
A much-changed Albiceleste side, which contained few recognisable stars outside of Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes, struggled to get going in highly windy conditions in north Africa.
There were four yellow cards and 28 fouls in a tempestuous first half of little quality.
Atlas Lions' front man Khalid Boutaib came closest to scoring but shot straight at Esteban Andrada, while Nikola Maksimovic's free-kick almost deflected in off Lautaro Martinez.
There was little improvement in the second half, though Argentina were perhaps fortunate not to concede a penalty when Walter Kannemann fouled M'barek Boussoufa on the edge of the area.
