Real Madrid suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to third division Alcoyano to exit the Copa del Rey after extra-time on Wednesday night.
Eder Militao headed in a cross from Brazilian compatriot Marcelo to give Real the lead right at the end of the first half, but Alcoyano substitute Jose Solbes levelled for the hosts with 10 minutes remaining to force the extra period.
Alcoyano were reduced to 10 men in the 110th minute when Ramon Lopez picked up a second yellow card for a foul on Casemiro, but found an unlikely winner five minutes later when midfielder Juanan turned in a cross from close range.
Zidane made nine changes to the team that were beaten 2-1 by Athletic Bilbao in last week's Spanish Super Cup semi-final but was still able to field a strong starting 11 containing five Champions League winners.
That was the only shock of the night, with Real Sociedad winning 2-0 at Cordoba to pick up their first victory of 2021 and progress.
Bayern Munich remain four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga following an unconvincing 1-0 success away to Augsburg.
Robert Lewandowski, the division's leading scorer, claimed his 22nd league goal of the campaign by converting a 13th-minute penalty.
The hosts squandered a golden chance to snatch a point as Alfred Finnbogason missed from the spot 14 minutes from time.
RB Leipzig climbed to second after Sweden international Emil Forsberg earned them a 1-0 victory over Union Berlin.
At the other end of the table, Schalke remain rock bottom after conceding a dramatic stoppage-time winner in the 2-1 loss to fellow strugglers Cologne.
Matthew Hoppe cancelled out Rafael Czichos' opener to level for the hosts but Jan Thielmann struck at the death to inflict defeat.
Cologne, however, remain in the relegation zone after Fabian Klos, an own goal from Marc-Oliver Kempf and Ritsu Doan gave Arminia Bielefeld a thumping 3-0 win over Stuttgart.
In Wednesday's other game, Keven Schlotterbeck's second-half own goal secured Eintracht Frankfurt a 2-2 draw at Freiburg. Roland Sallai and Nils Petersen had turned the contest in the home side's favour following Amin Younes' early opener.
In Spain, Villarreal missed the chance to go third in La Liga after Paco Alcacer missed an stoppage-time penalty in the 2-2 draw with Granada.
Alcacer's failure from 12 yards, following the dismissal of Yan Eteki, prevented the hosts moving above his former club Barcelona.
Veteran striker Roberto Soldado and Chelsea loanee Kenedy earned Granada a point by scoring either side of Ruben Pena's goal and Mario Gomez's spot-kick.
