Continuation of the Copa del Rey with the meetings of Betis, Rayo, Celta and Real Madrid.
Real Madrid were traveling near Alicante. With Eden Hazard at kickoff but without Courtois (left to rest), Real struggled against a catchy D3.
Jostled, the visitors yet opened the scoring against the course of the game, via Militao (39th) with a header.

Real finally made the break at the end of the match. Asensio’s counter strike on a pass from Eden Hazard allowed Aut Real to regain control (76th), before Isco (78th) took advantage of a bad clearance to plant the third.

Just before the meeting, Betis had easily validated their qualification (0-3) against Valladolid thanks to goals from Carvalho (24th), Fekir (27th) and Iglesias (50th). Rayo Vallecano hardly qualified against Mirandés (0-1) thanks to a goal from Martin (61st). Finally, Celta de Vigo sees its campaign stop in Mallorca against Atlético Baleares (2-1), following a brace from Manel Martínez (17th and 76th), for a goal from Mendez (64th) on the visitor side.
