scoreless
Neither side scored
Scoreless describes a game, match, or period of play in which no points have been made by one or both sides.
A scoreless first half means neither team scored before halftime.
When applied to a team or player, it means they failed to score: The offense remained scoreless through three quarters.
The term appears almost exclusively in sports contexts.
