Chelsea's youngsters went down 2-1 at League One side Swindon in Tuesday's lone Checkatrade Trophy tie.
Raphael Rossi Branco opened the scoring for the hosts with a looping header 18 minutes into the game and substitute Nathan Delfouneso doubled their lead shortly after the hour mark.
Adi Viveash's Blues - each making their first start in a senior competition - halved the deficit in spectacular fashion when Mukhtar Ali found the top corner from 25 yards but an equaliser proved elusive.
Swindon host Oxford when the group stage resumes on October 4, while Chelsea must wait until October 18 to continue their campaign at Exeter.
