  "account": "HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Emil Forsberg scored an insurance goal early in second-half stoppage time, as the New York Red Bulls defeated Inter Miami 2-0 on Saturday to secure their position above the playoff line.\n\nEthan Horvath made 11 saves for the Red Bulls (11-14-6), earning his fifth clean sheet in his first 31 starts of the league season. New York had been closely trailing the ninth and final postseason spot in the Eastern Conference before the win.\n\nIn the opening minute of the match, Inter Miami midfielder Carlos Casimiro scored an own goal that gave the Red Bulls the lead. Forsberg sealed the victory late in the game, scoring his fourth goal of the season. He assisted on his goal with Cameron Harper and Ronald Donkor, achieving his career-high tenth assist.\n\nLionel Messi entered the game in the 56th minute and recorded a hat-trick, tying him with Son Heung-min of Los Angeles FC for the league's top assist record. Inter Miami, who had been undefeated in their last four matches against the Red Bulls, lost their streak with the 2-0 defeat.",
