Sunderland drew with Cambridge United during the 1992 Anglo-Italian Cup

On September 1, 1992, Sunderland played to a 1-1 draw against Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium during the preliminary stages of the Anglo-Italian Cup. Gordon Armstrong scored for the visitors before Cambridge United recorded a second-half equalizer. The match attracted 2,199 spectators as part of a tournament designed for clubs in the top two divisions of English football. Sunderland ultimately finished at the bottom of their group following a previous loss to Birmingham City. This tournament was resurrected after the conclusion of the Full Members Cup but struggled with low attendance and scheduling difficulties. The Anglo-Italian Cup was eventually abandoned in 1996 due to general apathy and fixture congestion.
