The draw for the second round of the Copa del Rey has been announced, with Sevilla set to face Astorga and Athletic Bilbao taking on Cayón. This round will take place from December 5 to 7, and will see several matches between top-tier and lower-tier teams.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, and Osasuna will not participate in this round, as they will enter from the round of 32. The matches in this round will be played as single matches, with the hierarchically weaker team hosting the game.
Sevilla, who defeated Quintanar in the previous round, will now face Astorga, while Athletic Bilbao will take on Cayón. The draw also sees Girona, the current leader of the Spanish League, facing Orihuela.
Other notable matches include Atzeneta facing Getafe, Villarreal playing against Zamora, and Atletico Astorga squaring off against Sevilla FC.
The second round of the Copa del Rey promises exciting matchups between top-tier and lower-tier teams, providing an opportunity for underdogs to upset the odds and make a name for themselves in Spanish football.
