Robinho scores in the 22nd minute of the second half for the Brazilian national soccer team to beat the team of Ireland 1-0 in Dublin.
The team's head coach, Dunga, was unable to coach the team from the sidelines due to a one-game suspension from his expulsion in the friendly game against Mexico last year.
Jorginho took command of the team and was in constant contact with the coach by way of walky-talky, Xinhua reported February 6.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, Robinho received the ball on the right side of the field. The forward-midfielder of Real Madrid got control of the ball and located Ireland's goal keeper, Given. With a smooth stroke that went between the legs of Ireland's fullback, Carsley, the ball rolled past Given and into the goal.
The national team of the Republic of Ireland threatened to tie on two separate occasions.
Kilbane was able to dribble through two players, however, Leonardo Moura was able to send the ball out of bounds.
In the 42nd minute, Robbie Keane received the ball from a corner kick, but was unable to get a shot off before Brazil's goalkeeper, Julio Cesar, jumped on the ball.
Brazil's next match will be against Sweden on the 26th of March in London.
In other important friendly games in Europe, world champions Italy defeated Portugal 3-1 in Zurich and Spain beat France 1-0 in Malaga.
