Maccabi Haifa are furious about not postponing the game against Bnei Sakhnin
The champion expected the rival and the league manager to agree and claimed that qualifying for the group stage of the Champions League would add rating points that would affect all Israeli teams in Europe.
Maccabi Haifa is the only team among those who play on the fourth and rematch on the third, with a league game in between.
A solution to the issue was not found

Summary: Apollon Limassol - Maccabi Haifa 0:2 (Sport1)
Rage at Maccabi Haifa for not postponing the league game against Bnei Sakhnin.
Balofa expected that the league manager and the opponent would commit to the goal to allow the Greens to rest between the pair of the most decisive games of the club in recent times, against Red Star Belgrade.
The Greens emphasized that qualifying for the group stage of the Champions League is significant for all of Israeli football as the ranking points will affect all the teams that will play in the following years in the European establishments.
In Haifa, Karabakh, Viktoria Plzen, Red Star Belgrade and Nefika set an example - in all these cases, the local associations decided to postpone the games of the aforementioned teams in order to allow a complete rest between the games in Europe, as was also the case with PSV Eindhoven. In fact, Maccabi Haifa is the only team among those who play on the fourth and a rematch on the third, that also has a league game in the middle (Dynamo Zagreb plays as usual, but for them there is a difference of eight days between games, while for Dynamo Kyiv there is no league).
The management made it clear that they were willing to postpone the game to the time between the second and third round, Sakhnin refused and agreed to the postponement only to October 19, but the management made it clear that this is a problematic date, since it could happen only two days after Sakhnin's game against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
They will meet on Saturday despite everything.

Because the game will be played at its original time, the upset champion will have a very wide rotation.
Tomorrow you will host Red Star for the first of two matches, on Saturday you will host Sakhnin, and next Tuesday you will host Belgrade for the return leg in the playoff phase of the Champions League qualifiers.
