Ends clean sheet drought Saturday
Gavran registered three saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Gavran ended a run of 13 games without a clean sheet in Saturday's 2-0 win over the New York Red Bulls. The goalkeeper played a big part in it with three saves as the hosts dominated possession and had far more shots throughout the night. The Canadian now has four clean sheets in MLS this season, and surprisingly all of them have come away from home. He will look to add another on Saturday when Toronto visit the Columbus Crew.
Allows three goals versus Orlando
Gavran recorded one save and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-3 draw versus Orlando City SC.
Analysis: Gavran was beaten three times from inside the box in an eventful draw, a result that continues a deeply troubling defensive pattern for Toronto, with the club has now conceding in 13 straight matches. The positive is that Gavran stayed in the starting lineup after shaking off the physical problem that disrupted his previous outing. Up next is a road trip to face the Red Bull New York attack, which ranks 22nd in the league with 39 goals scored.
Starts against Orlando
Gavran (leg) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus Orlando City.
Analysis: Gavran will stay active despite leaving the previous match with a slight discomfort. His presence from kickoff leaves William Yarbrough among the substitutes, as has been the usual case throughout the season. The main goalkeeper will try to build on a streak of four games with at least five saves he had managed before the outing in which he got hurt.
Exits with injury
Gavran exited in the first half of Saturday's game against Montreal.
Analysis: Gavran was forced to leave the game midway through the first half, and further tests will be needed to determine the full extent of the injury. This means William Yarbrough will be in line to see more playing time going forward, especially if Gavran is forced to miss time.
Saves nine in 2-0 loss
Gavran made nine saves in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Nashville SC.
Analysis: Gavran did his part to keep Toronto within striking distance, but it wasn't enough to earn a result against the Supporters' Shield frontrunners. He made a season-best nine saves on the night, and will look to help Toronto get back on track when they face CF Montreal at home on Saturday, October 10.
Concedes three Saturday
Gavran made five saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus St. Louis City SC.
Analysis: Gavran conceded three goals in Saturday's loss, his second straight match conceding three goals. It marked his 10th match this season conceding three or more goals, and it also was his seventh time making five saves. His rough run of form may continue Saturday at Eastern Conference leader Nashville, a side which has scored 53 goals across 26 matches this season.
Makes five saves in loss
Gavran made five saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Orlando City SC. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 49th minute.
Analysis: Gavran made five or more saves for the sixth time in 25 starts, but it wasn't enough to avoid the road loss. The goalkeeper has only three clean sheets over that span. He will now look to bounce back at St Louis on Saturday.
Struggles in high-scoring game
Gavran had three saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-4 draw against Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Gavran did make three saves but also conceded four goals against Chicago. Things won't get easier with Nashville SC, a team at the top of the Eastern Conference with 47 goals in 23 MLS matches, coming up next in midweek action.
Makes one save
Gavran had one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against New York City FC.
Analysis: Gavran needed to make only one save while conceding once in Saturday's draw with NYCFC. He's now allowed nine goals across his last six MLS appearances, making 25 saves in that span. The keeper will face off with Chicago for the next game on Saturday, who have scored eight goals in the last five appearances. Gavran had conceded two goals on four saves during the last outing against the opponent on May 24.
Saves two shots against Miami
Gavran recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Inter Miami.
Analysis: Gavran managed to deny the hosts a couple of chances but lost his clean sheet when he was left defenseless against Lionel Messi during the final stretch of the game. The saves increased Gavran's total to 65, and he conceded his 37th goal over 21 starts in the 2026 MLS season. However, he remains with three clean sheets, failing to leave his goal unbeaten in five successive games. Up next is a home matchup versus New York City FC, who have scored nine goals over the last five league contests.
Seven saves for draw
Gavran had seven saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-3 draw versus Charlotte FC.
Analysis: Gavran was brilliant throughout Wednesday's clash. He conceded three goals and still put together an exceptional showing, stopping seven shots. If the defense in front of him gave him a bit more help it could have been enough for the win, but in the end it wasn't as Gavran could only salvage a draw.
Conceded pk goal
Gavran registered four saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 1-1 draw against New York City FC.
Analysis: Gavran was unable to stop Nico Fernandez's penalty in Friday's match against NYCFC, allowing one goal while making four saves. Across the four matches since the MLS break, he has conceded only four goals while recording 16 saves and two clean sheets. The keeper will face off with New England in the next league game on Aug 15, who have scored 10 goals in the last five contests.
Six saves, two goals conceded
Gavran made six saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus D.C. United.
Analysis: For only the second time this season, Gavran logged more than six saves. After back-to-back clean sheets since the return of the MLS, he conceded multiple goals, though one of them was a last-minute penalty to Tai Baribo. Perhaps his most recent goals conceded should not be an indicator of how he will deliver post-July, but Gavran's previous inconsistency and recent form's vast difference do not make him a top option just yet.
Keeps another clean sheet
Gavran had three saves and secured a clean sheet in Wednesday's 0-0 draw against New England Revolution.
Analysis: Gavran is starting the MLS back in the right direction, making another three saves with a clean sheet. He appears to be getting back on track, recording three saves and a clean sheet in Wednesday's draw against New England. He now has three clean sheets on the season, with two of them coming within the last week. The goalkeeper is also averaging 2.6 saves per match while conceding 29 goals across 16 appearances. He will next travel to face D.C. United on Saturday, a side that has scored nine goals over its last five matches.
Three saves in clean sheet
Gavran kept a clean sheet while making three saves during Thursday's 0-0 draw with Montreal.
Analysis: Gavran helped Toronto to a point by blanking Montreal on Thursday. The clean sheet was the first since March for Gavran as he's combined for 10 saves and five goals allowed over his last three appearances. Gavran and company head to New England next Wednesday.
Concedes two Saturday
Gavran recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Chicago Fire.
Analysis: Gavran conceded a pair of goals Saturday, the sixth time in his last seven starts where he conceded multiple goals. He also made four saves for just the second time this season. He will now be away from club football for nearly two months due to the World Cup break.
Concedes three
Gavran registered three saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Charlotte FC.
Analysis: Gavran made three saves but was unable to prevent any of the three goals conceded. He has now accumulated eight saves and four clearances over the last four games, conceding 10 goals in that span. Next, he faces Chicago Fire, who have scored eight times in their last four games.
Beaten four times in defeat
Gavran registered two saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-2 loss against Inter Miami CF.
Analysis: Gavran made two saves in Saturday's 4-2 MLS home loss to Inter Miami, coming up with a sharp reflex stop on a Lionel Messi strike in the second half and turning away a Rodrigo De Paul look in the first, but still got beaten four times as Miami's attack carved up Toronto's defensive shape all game long. He had little to no shot on De Paul's opening volley, Luis Suarez's composed finish, or the two goals that followed, with each one coming off high-level buildup rather than clear mistakes on his end. Gavran has now started 12 MLS matches this season, posting 28 saves with just one clean sheet, and he'll aim to bounce back with a stronger showing in Saturday's matchup against Charlotte.
Three saves on Saturday
Gavran recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: Gavran made three saves but conceded a goal. Two of those saves came from shots inside the box. Gavran's next assignment will be a match against Inter Miami.
Allows two against Atlanta
Gavran had no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Atlanta United.
Analysis: Gavran struggled in net despite facing one of the worst teams on form right now, allowing two goals without a single save. This continues a rough streak for the keeper, as it is now seven straight games without a clean sheet for him. He will prepare to face San Jose, a tough match as they lead the Western Conference.
