DC UnitedConcedes once Wednesday
Johnson had three saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Columbus Crew. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.
Analysis: Johnson conceded one goal Wednesday, an outside-the-box strike by Santiago Rodriguez right after halftime. He also made three saves to help secure the much-needed win for his club. Next up he faces Atlanta United on Saturday, the team which has scored the fewest goals among Eastern Conference teams this season.
Keeps clean sheet
Johnson recorded one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Los Angeles Football Club.
Analysis: Johnson made one save in Saturday's 0-0 home draw with LAFC, protected by a defensive structure that limited the visitors to just one shot on target. He was composed throughout a match where DC United's disciplined low block successfully neutralized Son Heung-Min and Denis Bouanga for the full 90 minutes. Johnson now has five clean sheets in 22 MLS starts this season.
Allows three in loss
Johnson made two saves and conceded three goals during Saturday's 3-1 loss against Charlotte.
Analysis: Johnson wasn't exactly at fault for the goals he allowed but at the same time he could've done a little bit better in each of them. After a strong five-game stretch with just four goals allowed and two clean sheets to start the season, the goalkeeper has been struggling since, averaging two goals conceded per game, and got beaten six times over the last two.
Four saves, three goals conceded
Johnson made four saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-0 loss versus New England Revolution.
Analysis: Post-World Cup, Johnson has logged four-plus saves in all but one of his five appearances. Unfortunately for him, he's conceded at least one goal in all of them, which his 73.3 save percentage over the span only somewhat makes up for. Johnson's next chance for a clean sheet is Saturday at Charlotte.
No saves in 2-2 draw
Johnson made zero saves in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Nashville SC.
Analysis: Johnson was unable to stop the only two shots on target, but he did enough to help D.C. earn a point at home against the current Supporters Shield leaders. He has now conceded at least one goal in seven straight appearances. Up next is a road clash at CF Montreal on Saturday, August 15.
Six saves, one goal conceded
Johnson recorded six saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Toronto FC.
Analysis: For only the second time in 2026, Johnson logged more than six saves, the first time occurring back on March 1. Unfortunately for the goalkeeper, even with his recent excellence, he has yet to log a clean sheet since May 3, making it six consecutive appearances.
Four saves in draw
Johnson had four saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Johnson stopped four of the five shots he faced during Wednesday's draw. The goalkeeper was solid throughout, but the team in front of him didn't give him enough support for him to earn all three points. It was still a solid showing on the whole as Johnson looks to be one of the better goalkeepers during the back half of the MLS campaign.
Concedes four but makes four saves
Johnson registered four saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-4 draw versus CF Montreal.
Analysis: Sean Johnson made four saves, but was unable to prevent Montreal from scoring four goals. Two of these goals came deep into stoppage time. In 15 games this season he has kept four clean sheets and this was the third time that he conceded four goals.
Two saves in draw
Johnson registered two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against St. Louis City SC.
Analysis: Johnson came up with two saves in Saturday's 1-1 MLS home draw against St. Louis City, with the only blemish coming from Chris Durkin's 50th minute strike that put the visitors ahead. He's now up to 14 MLS starts on the season, logging four clean sheets while piling up 48 saves along the way. Johnson will aim to stay sharp in Saturday's matchup against Montreal, the final tune-up before the World Cup break.
Concedes three
Johnson recorded five saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat against Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Johnson had a strong performance. He saved a penalty but was partly at fault for Chicago's third goal, as he parried the free kick into a dangerous area. Over the last four games, he has recorded 17 saves and three clearances, conceding eight goals. Next, he will face St. Louis City SC, who have scored five times in their last four games.
Saves five in 2-2 draw
Johnson made five saves in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Nashville SC.
Analysis: Johnson and D.C. United were dealt a big blow when defender Sylvan Hefti was given a red card in the 74th minute to help fuel a late Nashville comeback. Despite the bad fortune, Johnson was able to help D.C. secure its fifth consecutive unbeaten match. After playing four of their last five on the road, D.C. returns for a three-game home stand starting with a clash against the Chicago Fire on Wednesday.
Clean sheet vs former team
Johnson had four saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus New York City FC.
Analysis: Johnson had a decent outing Sunday, making four saves while keeping a clean sheet against his former club. In his first 11 matches with his new club, Johnson has made 36 saves while allowing 15 goals, keepng four clean sheets in the process. He will face off with Nashville for the next game on Saturday, who have scored seven goals in the last five contetss
Three saves, two goals conceded
Johnson made three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Orlando City SC.
Analysis: Johnson has logged three saves exactly four times across his last six appearances, each of which includes at least multiple saved shots. On the other hand, it is back-to-back games now in which he has conceded multiple goals. Johnson will look to bounce back in May.
Concedes four Wednesday
Johnson allowed four goals while making two saves during Wednesday's 4-4 draw with NY Red Bulls.
Analysis: Johnson allowed four goals but did enough to keep United in the match as they came from behind for a point. The keeper has allowed five goals while combining for nine saves and keeping a clean sheet over his last three starts. United take on Orlando on Saturday.
Four saves for clean sheet
Johnson registered four saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Philadelphia Union.
Analysis: Johnson saved all four shots he faced during Saturday's draw and did enough for the clean sheet. The goalkeeper was left behind the eight ball for most of the match as the team in front of him failed to accomplish much of anything throughout the match. He did enough to earn the draw and was the clear man of the match.
