Robinho Edge Ireland

raju — February 7, 2008 / 9:33 pm

A second-half strike by Robinho gave Brazil a 1-0 win over Ireland in a friendly on Wednesday.

The Real Madrid striker broke the deadlock in the 67th minute when he slammed the ball into the back of the net after receiving a pass from Diego who had linked up with Luis Fabiano.

Before Robinho opened the scoring a number of chances went begging for both sides who were missing key players through injury.

Ezequiel Lavezzi, Jonatan Maidana and Marco Ruben each added a goal in the first meeting between the teams.
