Brazil's Samba Boys on Wednesday beat Zimbabwe's national team Warriors 3-0 in a friendly match at the revamped National Sports Stadium.
Brazil is among the favorites to win the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa next week, exploiting the match against the Warriors to tune up for the soccer bonanza.
The match has generated great excitement among Zimbabweans, with the government giving civil servants half-day off to enable those interested in watching the historic match.
