 QSL side Al Gharafa lost their final friendly game of their winter camp in Abu Dhabi to Croatian Side NHK Rejika by one goal to nil.<br />
<br />
The match was a close fought affair with Gharafa having a number of goal-scoring opportunities, most noticeably from Congolese striker Alain Dioko who had a long distance shot hit the post. Rejika grabbed the only goal of the match in the 78^th  minute.<br />
<br />
With this friendly match, Al Gharafa concluded their winter external training camp as the team is scheduled to return to Doha on Thursday. The camp will have been a beneficial experience for new Gharafa coach Pedro Caixinha, who will be looking to turn around the fortunes of the Cheetah’s after a indifferent start to the QSL campaign.<br />

Al Gharafa’s next game in the QSL is against Al Ahli on Wednesday the 27^th of January.<br />
