  "account": "Charlotte edged Montreal 2-1 in a rainy Wednesday night match, thanks to a late goal from Idan Toklomati. The match saw Montreal take the lead in the 34th minute, with Daniel Ríos heading in a cross from Luca Petrasso. Charlotte responded quickly, as Liel Abada equalized for them in the 37th minute after Allan Saint-Maximin's counterattack. The decisive moment came in the 81st minute, when David Schnegg's cross found Toklomati, who redirected it past the goalkeeper. Despite Montreal's losing streak in the Eastern Conference, this loss leaves Charlotte in a strong position heading into the playoffs.",
