Youngsters perform, but Barca's fringe players fail to inspire vs Hercules to 1 - 1 draw.
A much-changed Barcelona side containing five full debutants drew for the third time in four games, coming unstuck against a Hercules side 25 places and two divisions below them.
The Alicante outfit shocked Barca by winning 2-0 at the Camp Nou the last time they were in the top flight, and caused the Catalans problems again by sitting back and trying to keep their opponents at bay.
Despite their cautious approach, Hercules took a surprise lead in the second half when David Mainz took advantage of timid defending from the visitors to score from close-range with his chest, although Carlos Alena quickly pulled Barca level with a lethal shot from outside the box.
Meanwhile Real Madrid enjoys a 6 - 1 win against Cultural Leonesa as Enzo Zidane scored on his debut.
Enzo Zidane has said scoring on his debut is just the start of things for him at Real Madrid.
Zidane, the son of Madrid coach Zinedine, replaced Isco at half-time in the 6-1 Copa del Rey thrashing of La Cultural y Deportivo Leonesa and scored the fourth goal with a low 20-yard strike.
Enzo played in the second-leg of the last-32 Copa del Rey clash against Cultural Leonesa to make his official first-team debut. He also scored the madridistas' fourth goal, and this is how he reflected on the experience: “To score on your Real Madrid debut is always a dream, and I'm really happy it's come at the Bernabéu and with a win. It's been a very special night. I've had to wait for my chance and now it's here. This is the beginning and I have to keep working to get more chances and help the team”.
