A goal after 28 minutes from man of the match Antonio Alzamendi secured a 1-0 victory for River Plate of Argentina against Steau Bucharest of Romania in the seventh Toyota Cup Final contested in Tokyo on 14 December 1986.

The official 1986 Toyota Cup programme shown below is 92 x colour A4 pages. Apart from the introductions, the programme is all in Japanese. The programme begins with a one page feature on the match referee Jose Martinez Bazan of Uruguay. The programme includes full details and photos of Steau Bucharest and River Plate and their players along with further information on star players including Marius Lacatus and Victor Piturca of Steau Bucharest and Oscar Ruggeri and Nery Pumpido of River Plate amongst others. The programme also has articles on rival managers Anghel Iordanescu and Hector Rodolfo Veira and an article on the countries of Romania and Argentina. The programme includes details and photos from the previous six Toyota Cup Finals and an article on previous Intercontinental Cup Finals. The programme details how Steau Bucharest and River Plate won the 1986 European Cup and 1986 Copa Libertadores respectively and finishes with an article on the rules of football and an article on the FIFA, UEFA and CONMEBOL. The programme in my collection is special because it has been autographed on the front and inside by many of the players from both teams.
