Jose Luis Morales: The third day of Copa del Rey first-round matches failed to produce any upsets, but both Espanyol and Levante had close shaves away to lower league opposition.

Kike Garcia scored both goals in Espanyol's 2-1 win away to Atletic Lleida, which plays in the fourth tier of the Spanish game.

Kike opened the scoring with a second-minute penalty, but Lleida made it level just three minutes later thanks to Aldo One, although Kike restored Espanyol's lead on the stroke of halftime, with the top-flight side suffering a few nervous moments in the final minutes.
