Newcastle United fired a blank in a goalless draw at Leeds United as record signing Nick Woltemade watched on.
The Germany forward had to make do with a seat in the directors' box after his £69m move from Stuttgart was not completed in time to make his debut at Elland Road.
Newcastle certainly could have used some added firepower in the continued absence of Alexander Isak, who remains determined to join Liverpool before the transfer window shuts on Monday.
In truth, as the rain poured in Yorkshire, this was a game devoid of much goalmouth action.
Leeds did not have a shot on target until the closing stages while Newcastle did not test Lucas Perri until Jacob Murphy stung the Leeds goalkeeper's gloves just before half-time.
Murphy also forced Perri into a fine one-handed stop after he let fly with a swerving effort from 25 yards out in the second half, but Leeds held firm.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin even had a chance to potentially win it late on, but the Leeds substitute's strike was kept out by Nick Pope's foot.
Newcastle's wait for a first win of the season goes on, but Leeds will be delighted with this point as Daniel Farke's battling side bounced back from defeats against Sheffield Wednesday and Arsenal.
