(Football news) The hosts, who participate in sixth-tier league football, will be playing in the Copa del Rey main draw for the first time ever. Quintanar, who defeated Club Union Zona Norte in the preliminary round to earn a spot in the main draw, is anticipating an unforgettable matchup with the Europa League champions.

Quintanar’s first-ever position in the Copa del Rey first round was secured by Joselu’s goal in the 13th minute, which turned out to be the game’s lone goal. With 14 points from their first eight games, Wednesday’s hosts have gotten off to a good start in the Primera Autonomica Preferente.

Quintanar has won all five of its home games this season, but if they want to keep their perfect record at home, they will need to pull off a massive upset in the cup.

Even though Wednesday’s match is scheduled for the beginning of November, Sevilla has already had a management change this season, with Jose Luis Mendilibar being fired after a 2-2 draw with Rayo Vallecano.

Mendilibar had a rough start to the season after watching his team win only two of their first 11 competitive games. He went on to lead Sevilla to their seventh Europa League title.

The Sevilla board decided to replace Mendilibar with former Uruguayan manager Alonso, who has lost all three of his games in charge (D1, L2).

After starting his career with a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid and a 2-1 Champions League loss to Arsenal, Alonso led Sevilla to a 2-2 draw with another Andalusian team Cadiz after the team had fallen behind by two goals. Goals from Lucas Ocampos and Ivan Rakitic sealed the victory.

Sevilla, who have lost their previous six games in all competitions, have a fantastic chance to turn things around against Quintanar, a sixth-tier team.

The visitors, who are trying to win the cup for the first time since the 2009–10 campaign, have won the Copa del Rey five times. They will be hoping that this is the beginning of an incredible cup run.
