Lehmann's Alejandro Bartoleme got a good chance for a goal in the 6th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Lehmann's zone, Cristobal Abadie stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Ceres's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Alejandro Bartoleme was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.
