Contract clause
The 33-year-old defender made his 15th appearance of the season in Wednesday night's game, which triggered a clause in his contract extending the deal by a year until the summer of 2007. Luis Fernández joined Betis from Real Racing Club Santander in 1996 and has made 218 league appearances for the Seville-based team to date.
