My dictionary lists a few where the translation is the same but I dont think they have the correct meaning. "Relent" "retreat" "concede" ( maybe this one?)

1Give in (to sth): to finally agree to something that someone wants after first refusing: If you want them to give in you'll have to offer them more than that. Cambridge Dictionary– user5267Oct 26, 2016 at 11:36

2If you want something informal, you can use "cave in" - to give in to someone or something, yield. ("Finally, the manager caved in to the customer's demands". "I refuse to cave in under pressure from my opponent"). I hear this especially when game developers cave in to players requests when they whine about features that make the game too hard for them.– MorganFROct 26, 2016 at 12:07

give in
has the meaning of reluctantly agreeing, converting over, after putting up some sort of resistance.
Two other words with the same implied meanings are
acquiesce
surrender
You could also try: Yield, concede (defeat), admit (defeat), give up, back down or throw in the towel.
Another alternative is succumb which means to give in to a force stronger than oneself. It suggests almost powerlessness. Here is the definition: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/succumb
