State Cup Semi-Final Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Hapoel Haifa 0: 2 (Sport 1)

Two games in each of which will be shared for at least half an hour, this is what is missing in order for Jose Rodriguez's contract with Maccabi Haifa to be automatically extended for next season.

In the contract of the Spanish midfielder of Maccabi Haifa, which Barak Bachar sometimes also uses as a defender, a clause according to which if he plays over 60 percent of the team's games in the league and state cup - when a performance is considered only 30 minutes or more in the game - his contract will be automatically extended.

This means that Rodriguez, who was absent yesterday from the derby victory in the semi-final of the cup against Hapoel Haifa, is expected to remain in the team next season as well and it is possible that he will make his first appearance out of the two missing to extend his contract in the game against Maccabi Netanya.

Under the same section, Rodriguez has to play half an hour or more in 25 different games and now stands at 23 such appearances this season in the league and cup.

It should be noted that the Spaniard is interested in discussing his contract and expects a significant upgrade in his kosher status, and although the option will be exercised automatically, the intention of the heads of Maccabi Haifa is to sit with him and try to go towards him.

As mentioned, Rodriguez was absent due to ankle pain from the cup game yesterday and is in doubt for Netanya when the goal is to train him.

One way or another, Maccabi Haifa has seven more games left to end the season - six in the league and of course the state cup final against Maccabi Tel Aviv or Hapoel Beer Sheva next month,
