(Reuters) - Asian champions Al Hilal Coach Ramon Diaz said his team will fight to defend their Saudi Pro League title after a disappointing 2-2 draw against Al Tai on Monday that left them 10 points behind league leaders Al Ittihad.
Argentine coach Diaz is also looking to defend his team's AFC Champions League title when they host Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan in the first leg on April 29. The second leg will be away at Saitama Stadium on May 6.
Diaz made four substitutions after the break and Al Hilal levelled the tie with goals from Saleh Al-Shehri and substitute Brazilian winger Michael Delgado.
