### Copa del Rey
#### Third Round
## Others
### El Derbi de la Región de Murcia

This is the name which receives the match played between Real Murcia and FC Cartagena, because it is a match between two teams of the same autonomous community (Región de Murcia) that is played by the first time in the history with these team's names, because some derbis were played in Segunda División B when FC Cartagena was Cartagonova CF (the last one was in the 1999–2000 season).
In the first match of this season, FC Cartagena beat for 1–4, the biggest win away for the club cartagenero.
In second match, FC Cartagena confirms its aspirations of promotion to Liga BBVA qualifying second and Real Murcia remains debilitated in the middle-low positions of the table.
