A second-half strike by Robinho gave Brazil a 1-0 victory over Ireland in a friendly on Wednesday.
A number of chances went begging on either side until Fabiano linked up with Diego who slipped a pass to Robinho in the 67th minute and the Real Madrid forward slammed the ball into the back of the net.
Both sides were missing key players through injury, with Brazil coach Dunga doing without world player of the year Kaka and the youthful Pato.
Winger Andy Reid and defender Joey O'Brien were absent from the home side, still without a permanent coach, but winger Damien Duff played his first game for his country for nearly a year following a foot injury.
Both Duff and captain Robbie Keane had scoring chances they failed to convert.
