Getafe squeezed through to the King's Cup semi-finals on Thursday on away goals after a 2-2 aggregate draw against Real Mallorca.
Getafe were beaten 1-0 in a near-empty Coliseum stadium on Thursday but could not be denied a place in the last four thanks to their 2-1 win in the first leg.
Mallorca striker Aritz Aduriz, who earlier had a penalty saved, put the Balearic Islanders in front with a header in first-half added time.
Defender Ruben Gonzalez fluffed a golden chance to double the visitors' lead five minutes after the break, heading over from close range, and Getafe held on to set up a two-legged semi-final next month against Sevilla.
Sevilla, conquerors of holders Barcelona in the last round, lost their quarter-final second-leg 1-0 at home to Deportivo Coruna on Wednesday but went through 3-1 on aggregate.
The Andalusians beat Getafe 1-0 in the 2007 final and the Madrid-based club lost 3-1 to Valencia in the 2008 final.
Second-division Celta Vigo, the only side left from outside the top flight, host Atletico Madrid in their quarter-final, second-leg later on Thursday (2100 GMT).
Celta are struggling in 17th out of 22 in the second-tier standings but snatched a potentially crucial away goal in a 1-1 draw at the Calderon in last week's first leg.
