Preliminary round second leg

Seventeen teams from the lower divisions go in to the hat for the first round proper after the qualifying round second leg games on 19th and 20th September. Logroñes continued their comeback after being relegated down to the third division two seasons ago for failing to pay their debts, and after winning promotion back to the second division B this season, they are hoping for a lucrative cup run after coming from behind to beat another ex first division side, Sabadell. Calahorra found themselves two goals and a keeper down after ten minutes against Toledo and never came back, and Cádiz put four past Granada to dump them out of the competition.

High scores elsewhere too, with Ceuta getting five against Atlético Baleares and Figueres putting no less than eight past Teruel, including seven in the first half. The draw for the first round takes place on Monday 24th September, with first and second division teams entering at this stage and games to be played over one leg.
