What was done to the first goat?

Leviticus 16:15 (ESV)

15 “Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people and bring its blood inside the veil and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull, sprinkling it over the mercy seat and in front of the mercy seat.

After making purification for himself, Aaron presented the first goat as a purification offering on behalf of the people. He does this in the same manner as the offering of the bull.
