Fierce shot
The Lithuanian international beat United goalkeeper Ricardo in the 56th minute with a fierce left-footed strike to help Haifa towards their second UEFA Champions League Group F success. However, Zutautas limped off the field of play in Nicosia nine minutes from time after being upended by the United custodian. And today it was confirmed he would be out of action for at least two months with torn medial ligaments in his right knee.
'Totally gutted'
Zutautas admitted to uefa.com that he had feared a recurrence of the knee injury which had sidelined him for eight months two years ago. "I'm totally gutted," he said. "It is the same knee, but from what I understand it is not as bad as we feared and I'll be back in two months."
