Don Benito's team won at home in the 1/128 finals, defeating Sausal from the top league of the Canary Islands with a score of 3-1. The visitors opened the scoring in the seventeenth minute, but Moruno scored a brace before halftime. In the early stages of the second half, the hosts were reduced to ten men. In the previous season, the Andalusians started in the 1/16 finals because they won the trophy in the 2021/22 campaign. The Cucumbers eliminated Ibiza Islas Pitiusas from Segunda B with a score of 4-1 but were eliminated by Osasuna in the next stage (2-2, 2-4 on penalties).

Watch the match between Hernan Cortes and Betis online; these opponents have not crossed paths in recent history. The team from the province of Badajoz spent most of its time in the fifth and sixth divisions. In the 1960s and the first half of the 2010s, the club competed at the fourth level of Spanish football. In the summer of 2021, a participant in the regional championship became the B team of Villanovense (Segunda B). Previous performances in lower leagues did not allow Hernan Cortes to qualify for the Copa del Rey. In the 2022/23 Extremadura league, the players only finished fifth, but that was enough for them to secure a place in the tournament. Watch the battle between Hernan Cortes and Betis online.

Betis were eliminated in the 1/64 finals in the 2009/10 competition when they faced Cordoba, losing 1-2. This is their worst performance since the early 2000s. Before that, the Green and Whites were eliminated so early in the 1980/81 competition when they lost to Sevilla in a derby match (1-2, 1-1). In the 1948/49 season, the Andalusians dropped out of the competition in the 1/128 finals, losing to Cadiz with a score of 2-4.

In other cases, the Heliopolitans consistently reached at least the 1/32 stage. Since 1958, the team from Seville has participated in every campaign except the 1968/69 Copa del Rey. For thirteen consecutive years, the Cucumbers exited the playoff stage no earlier than the 1/16 finals, and in four cases, they reached the quarterfinals.
