11 crosses in 6-0 win
Johnston generated one shot (one on goal), 11 crosses (four accurate) and two corners in Thursday's 6-0 victory over Qatar.
Analysis: Johnston had another game where he was heavily involved and helped Canada to a 6-0 win, despite not having an assist. Shots which came from his crosses were responsible for the first and third goals. His crosses in these two occasions were put on target, but the saved shots came back to a forward and were put into the back of the net by others. He completed four of his crosses and took two corners.
Busy going forward
Johnston registered one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 11th minute.
Analysis: Johnston got forward a few times during Friday's draw, creating a chance and taking a shot, though it was a sloppy one. He was shown an early yellow card which is a concern for the remainder of the tournament, as another one would see him suspended for one match. Johnston will likely be a bit limited as an attacking option against Switzerland, but he could have his chances next time out against Qatar.
