- The result adds to a round of shocks that included Ourense knocking out Girona and Eldense eliminating Almería, with Ceuta, Málaga and Cádiz also bowing out.
- The last‑32 ties are scheduled for 16–18 December, when the four Supercopa participants enter the Copa del Rey.
- The draw next week will decide which of the four giants visits Estadi Balear for Atlético Baleares’ next match.
