Aggregate scores listed parenthetically.
Barca took a 3-0 lead by half-time against Leonesa. Munir El Haddadi and Denis Suarez supplied fine finishes to passes from Ivan Rakitic before Malcom headed home a Rakitic cross to make it a hat-trick of assists for the Croatia international.
Josep Sene pulled one back for the Segunda B side after the break, but Suarez scored again to round out the win for the hosts.
Riqui Puig's delightful dinked through ball for Suarez had sports writers Graham Ruthven and Andy West singing his praises:
Meanwhile, Toko Ekambi made history for Villarreal with his efforts:
Carlos Bacca netted a brace, while Gerard Moreno and Dani Raba also got in on the act.
Though it only finished 1-0, Sevilla's win over Villanovense could have been similarly one-sided on another day:
Andre Silva made the difference with his strike four minutes into the second half.
At the Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico were fortunate to go in at half-time 1-0 up on aggregate, as they had been outplayed by Sant Andreu up until that point.
However, a much stronger second-half performance saw them net all four of their goals.
Thomas Lemar broke the deadlock in the 48th minute, and he was soon followed by efforts from Nikola Kalinic and Angel Correa before Vitolo added a fourth late on.
