Eddie Johnson just a few days removed from knowledge of his exclusion from the US National Team’s provisional World Cup. Scored his first goal of this season on Saturday night, a late strike that earned United a 1-1 draw against the Montreal Impact in front 14,106 at RFK Stadium.

Both teams struggle to get in gear during an unexciting first half.

D.C. did slight with the handful of scoring chances they generated, though several players - most notably United forward Fabian Espindola - played with keenness and pushed to create a small crop of opportunities. United came nearby to scoring in the 15th minute, when Espindola’s low, pacy cross took a deflection and caromed off Impact center back Wandrille Lefevre’s head, nearly handing D.C. an own goal.
