Kufstein: Al Hilal began their preparations for the resumption of their AFC Champions League campaign with a 1-0 loss to Turkish outfit Gaziantepspor on Monday.
Nigerian midfielder John Chibuike scored the only goal of the game with 28 minutes at the Kufstein Arena Stadium to hand Giorgos Donis’ side a narrow defeat in the first of four friendly matches that last year’s ACL runners-up will be playing during their pre-season training camp in Austria.
Al Hilal continue their preparations for the continuation of their continental campaign and the start of the 2015/16 Saudi season when they take on Gaziantepspor’s Turkish Super Lig rivals Akhisar Belediyespor on Thursday before an intriguing friendly against inaugural ACL champions Al Ain on Sunday.
The two-time Asian Club Championship, Asian Cup Winners’ Cup, and Asian Super Cup winners round off their programme of friendly matches in Austria when they face Hellas Verona on August 5.
Al Hilal return to AFC Champions League action on August 25 when they take on Qatar champions Lekhwiya at the King Fahd International Stadium for the first leg of their 2015 quarter-final before making the short trip to Doha for the return fixture, which takes place on September 15 at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in the Qatari capital.
