Norouzi, who scored his team’s only goal with a penalty shot in the 18th minute, will undergo surgery on his knee in the coming days.
“Norouzi tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee. He will have an operation in the near future and is expected to be out of action for approximately seven months.
