Five time world champions Brazil trail Belgium 2-0 at half time in their quarter-final encounter in the FIFA World Cup at the Kazan Arena in Kazan, Russia.

Tite's side conceded an own goal in the 13th minute when Vincent Kompany's header from a corner kick was deflected in off Fernandinho, who was credited with the own goal.

The lead was doubled in minute 31 when Belgium counter attacked and Romelu Lukaku saw teammate Kevin de Bruyne unmarked to his right. The midfielder powerfully beat goalkeeper Allison at his far post.
