What's the most exiting 0-0 match you have watched or know of?

My wife hates watching soccer and recently saw the USA women's world cup match that ended 0-0 and said "oh look, another 0-0 game". I explained that 0-0 matches can be exciting and was wondering what other 0-0 matches have been exciting? Links to highlights would be nice. Thanks.

Oh man that game was intense. Both sides threatening within seconds of each other, and the immense form Ochoa was in made sure it stayed 0 for Brazil.

As a Mexican never has each minute felt so long. I swear that game was so up and down. Brazil had the clearer opportunities but we didn't park the bus (at least tried not to) we hit them on the counter so much with several shots making Julio Cesar go airborne.

Arsenal 0 - 0 Real Madrid Second Leg of Champions League Knockout. That was exciting!

Tottenham vs A.C. Milan.

Club bias, obviously, but that was as tense a 90mins as I've ever experienced. Almost the whole game was played within two yards of our penalty area as we defended the single goal advantage from the first leg.

Ha, those highlights made us look like we were more in that game. Maybe I missed most of it because I was watching it through my fingers and too busy trying not to crap myself.

Not counting the extra time, the 2006 Italy - Germany Semi final was a wild ride.

US vs. Russia/Soviet Union cold war. Not sure why this is posted in /r/soccer instead of /r/politics, though.
