Brazil's Ronaldo, who plays for Spain's Real Madrid, right, celebrates after scoring a goal that tied the game 3-3 against Uruguay during a 2006 World Cup qualifying game at the Pinheirao Stadium in Curitiba, Brazil, Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2003. [AP]

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
