The Republic of Ireland defeated Oman by two goals to nil in this tepid friendly at the Aviva Stadium.
Ireland dominated throughout and set the tone from the kick off topping off their superiority with the opening goal in the 14th minute.
Robbie Brady whipped in a right wing corner and Kevin Doyle rose like a salmon to power home a near post header.
From that moment on the result was never in doubt and - before the killer second - Alex Pearce saw a far post header cleared from off the line, David Meyler chipped against the crossbar and second half substitute Aiden McGeady had an effort cleared off the line.
The Boys in Green wrapped up the result with that second nine minutes from the ninety with Pearce - from yet another Brady corner and after skipper on the night Richard Keogh had got a touch - showing nifty control before slotting home a left footed near post finish.
There was still time for the woodwork to be rattled again, this time McGeady chipping an effort against the bar.
Darron Gibson - in his first outing since injuring his knee against Kazakhstan this time last year - was yellowcarded for a particularly late challenge.
