  "account": "Lionel Messi set up both goals for Inter Miami in their 2-2 draw against Atlanta United on Saturday. The match was delayed by thunderstorms and lightning for 90 minutes, but Inter Miami's star player was at the center of the action. Miami took the lead in the 32nd minute when Brazil's Casemiro headed in Messi's corner. Atlanta equalized three minutes later through Miguel Almiron's low shot. Miami regained the lead in the second half when Luis Suarez scored a measured finish, assisted by Messi, on the cusp of halftime. However, Swiss striker Breel Embolo secured Atlanta's share of the points with an 87th-minute penalty.",
