A headed effort from Alexandre Pato ensured Brazil went into the break of their match against Belarus at Old Trafford level at one goal apiece.
The Brazilians were rated as the favourites to win this encounter comfortably and begun the match brightly.
However, it was Belarus who broke the deadlock with eight minutes on the clock when Renan Bardini Bressan rose highest inside the area to head past Neto in the Brazil goal.
Brazil were only behind for seven minutes though thanks to Pato. Neymar was the creator, crossing for the AC Milan striker, who sent a header into the net.
Porto attacker Hulk had Brazil's best chance to go in front before the break, but he shot over the bar from the edge of the penalty area.
