Zenith Data Systems Challenge Trophy

The Zenith Data Systems Challenge Trophy was an association football tournament, labelled as an unofficial World Club Championship[1] and sponsored by Zenith Data Systems,[2] that was played in the summer of 1989 in Miami, Florida. Opponents were Arsenal F.C., the English champion, and the best Argentinian team, Independiente.[3]

Arsenal became the unofficial World Champion after a difficult 2-1 win at Joe Robbie Stadium. David Rocastle scored twice with the temporary equalizer by Carlos Alfaro Moreno for South-American players.[4]

gollark: I mean, as far as I'm aware my arguably-evil plan should work just using my own account. I'd test it but the bot seems to not be responding to new posts. Or is just late.
