  "account": "Lionel Messi scored four goals as Inter Miami ended their five-game winless streak with a 7-1 victory over Montreal in Major League Soccer on Saturday. The Argentine superstar led the way with a hat-trick, including a decisive free-kick in the final minutes of stoppage time. Earlier, Brazil international Casemiro put Inter ahead with a header in the 20th minute, followed by a goal from Montreal's Fabian Herbers in the 37th minute. Messi extended the lead with two more goals, the second coming shortly after halftime. Former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez sealed the match with a goal on 83 minutes, and teenage substitute Alex Shaw added a sixth goal in the 89th minute. Inter Miami now sit in second place in the Eastern Conference, seven points behind leaders Nashville.",
