Manises host Getafe at the Campo Vicente Martínez Catala on Tuesday in the opening round of the Copa del Rey. The hosts ply their trade in the sixth tier of Spanish football.
Manises beat ES Dolorense 3-1 in the preliminary round last month. Francisco Puertas and Marc Cantero handed the sixth-tier outfit a two-goal lead before Juan La Piedra wrapped up the win with 10 minutes left.
Getafe, meanwhile, have struggled in the league this season. After heading into the international break off consecutive defeats, they returned to action in convincing fashion, beating Real Valladolid 2-0 via a quickfire second-half double from Alvaro Rodriguez and veteran defender Allan Nyom.
Getafe beat seventh-tier side Tardienta 12-0 at this stage of the competition last season.
