  "account": "Allianz Field witnessed bedlam on Saturday as Minnesota United's trio of goals in a five-minute span sent the crowd into a frenzy.

Yeboah's go-ahead goal came on a scissor kick with less than 15 minutes remaining, marking his third goal in two games. The match began with a goal conceded by Minnesota, leading 1-0, before Orlando took a 2-0 lead. Daryl Dike, who recently joined the team from West Bromwich Albion, scored the opening goal in the 28th minute after colliding with goalkeeper Drake Callender. Callender was injured in the play and required medical attention as fans protested the referee's decision to allow play to continue.",
