Leeds also included two outfield trialists in Craig Hignett and Steve Guppy.
Oldham boss Brian Talbot played his strongest possible team.
Shabaan kept Oldham out with saves from a David Eyres header and a shot from Rodney Jack from only five-yards after the defence ball-watched.
A Steve Guppy cross that Brian Deane just failed to finish off in the opening minutes was the best chance Leeds got in the first half, and at the start of the second period Michael Ricketts set up Craig Hignett but he put his header wide.
Leeds threw everyone forward at the finish but Oldham had their own impressive trialist keeper in Kelvin Jack.
