  "account": "In a 2-2 draw on Sunday, Inter Miami's Lionel Messi and the team's chances of topping the Eastern Conference fell short as they faced San Diego. Two goals from Anders Dreyer secured a draw for San Diego at Miami's Nu Stadium, leaving Miami 11 points behind Nashville with eight regular season games left. Dreyer opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a chip over Miami's Dayne St. Clair, but the home team quickly equalized when Messi scored his 101st goal for the club with a free-kick in the 24th minute. Despite dominating possession and territory, Miami couldn't find a lead in the final minutes, with De Paul and Messi both missing good chances. San Diego equalized again in the 74th minute, and Dreyer sealed the draw with a second goal in the 90th minute.",
  "summary": "The result left Inter Miami 11 points behind MLS Eastern Conference leaders Nashville with eight regular-season games remaining.",
