  "account": "Lionel Messi and Inter Miami suffered a 2-2 draw against San Diego at the Nu Stadium in Florida on Sunday, hindering the champions' pursuit to top the Eastern Conference. Anders Dreyer scored twice for San Diego, with his first goal coming after just 12 minutes. Inter Miami, who dominated possession and territory, equalized in the 24th minute as Messi scored his 101st goal for the club with a curling free-kick. Despite several chances by Messi, Luis Suarez, and Rodrigo De Paul, Inter Miami failed to take the lead. De Paul then assisted Suarez for the equalizer in the 74th minute, but San Diego equalized once again in the 74th minute, this time through Dreyer once more. The match finished with a frenzied final 10 minutes, but San Diego managed to secure a point deep into stoppage time, leaving Miami trailing by 11 points with eight games remaining.",
  "summary": "The result left Inter Miami 11 points behind MLS Eastern Conference leaders Nashville with eight regular-season games remaining.",
