Netherlands right back Khalid Boulahrouz tempted fate early in the second half, with a lazy back-pass from near the center line failing to make its way back to goalkeeper Maartin Stekelenburg.
Instead, Uruguay attacker Edinson Cavani, in the 51st minute, got to the ball first and touched it around the hard-charging goalkeeper, eventually playing it to left midfielder Álvaro Pereira, who tried a chip into the open net.
Giovani van Bronckhorst, near the goal line, headed the ball away as Diego Forlán stood with arms outstretched near the spot, looked back at his teammate.
The match remains drawn 1-1 in the 59th minute.
