In the first leg, the San Sebastián team defeated the Catalonians 1-0, and despite the draw on aggregate, the three away goals by Lleida Esportiu determined their passage to the next round.
The away team's goals were scored by Aitor Núñez, Manu Molina, and Bojan Radulovic in the 56th, 59th, and 88th minutes respectively; for the home team, Diego Llorente scored in the 23rd minute and Juanmi in the 33rd minute.
Real Sociedad dominated the first half and had a comfortable 2-0 lead over the visitors, but the second half turned into a nightmare, allowing Lleida Esportiu to turn the score around.
The visitors, who scored two goals in three minutes, completed the comeback with a header goal by Bojan Radulovic four minutes before the end, leaving the Anoeta stadium silent.
Carlos Vela played the full 90 minutes and had a discreet performance, where he couldn't make a difference for his team, resulting in an early elimination from the Copa tournament.
