| Ronaldo struck twice, including
an 87th-minute equaliser, to help Brazil salvage a 3-3 draw at home to Uruguay
after throwing away a two-goal lead in Wednesday's World Cup qualifier.
Brazil ripped Uruguay to shreds in the first half, going 2-0 up after 29
minutes through Kaka and Ronaldo and also missing a hatful of chances.
Uruguay hit back to lead 3-2 as Manchester United striker Diego Forlan scored
twice and Arsenal's Gilberto Silva headed a bizarre own goal.
Brazil were ultimately saved from their first-ever home defeat in a World Cup
qualifier when Ze Roberto set Ronaldo free and the Real Madrid player scored
with an angled shot from the edge of the penalty area
