But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Lutz Holtzmann couldn't finish the play. 76 minutes into the match, Lutz Holtzmann had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Jacobo Nores. Paraguay's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Lutz Holtzmann was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0.
