Explanation:
مع أن الحصان الأسود دائمًا ما تشير إلى الفريق المفاجئ في البطولة كلها لكن اعتقد هذا أقرب شيئ للمعنى ممكن الحصان الأسود لهذه المباراة

as for upset, I think it can be تلقى هزيمة ساحقة أو ضربة قاضية أو مفاجئة غير متوقعة. There is no Arabic one-word translation for upset

Notes to answerer
Asker: thanks for your input... yes, this could be suitable for "cinderella team", but what about "cinderella" or "upset"?

Asker: و هو الترجمة الحرفية من المصطلح الانجليزية black horse هل عند العرب مصطلح عربي لا مترجم؟

Asker: original term is dark horse, not black horse, sorry for the typo
