  "account": "The Stormers missed an opportunity to secure their first victory over Edinburgh in Scotland, falling short with a 17-13 defeat at Hive Stadium. Despite a stellar first-half defensive performance, they struggled to maintain pressure after halftime, ultimately surrendering two tries. A series of errors at the lineout, compounded by poor decision-making and a lack of momentum, proved costly. Eighthman Hacjivah Dayimani scored the lone Stormers try, but they were unable to capitalize on their strong start. The defeat leaves the Stormers on the defensive as they prepare for their first home game of the season against the Sharks.",
  "summary": "The Stormers’ heroic first-half defence counted for little as lineout woes, missed opportunities and a second-half defensive lapse handed Edinburgh a 17-13 victory.",
