These teams joined the competition in the third round, which was played on the week-end of 3 and 4 of November.
The matches were played in a knockout format. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes, the match went into extra time. In the event of a draw at the end of extra time, a replay was foreseen and this was played on the visiting team's pitch.
