First victory for Trappatoni

Giovanni Trapattoni tasted victory for the first time as Republic of Ireland boss after telling his players to dream.

The 69-year-old Italian saw his side ease past Portuguese minnows Lagos 3-1 at the Estadio Municipal a day after they drew 1-1 with Liga Vitalis side Portimonese, and was happy to see his first few days on the training pitch come to fruition.
