Chicago sealed the game with Andy Herron's shot from 18 yards, which made the score 3-1 with in the 74th minute.

Both of D.C. United's goals came from Christian Gomez with Freddie Adu assisting. The first came in the 34th minute against Chicago goalkeeper Matt Pickens and the second in the 82nd. Gomez ended the season with 14 goals, tied for second-best in the MSL.
