Nov. 5, 2006 – D.C. United 0:1 Revolution, MLS Eastern Conference final, RFK Stadium (Att.: 19,552)

Revolution history repeated itself as the team scored in the fourth minute in taking a 1-0 victory in the MLS Eastern Conference final. Clint Dempsey’s goal made the difference as the Revolution took a 1-0 decision over the Chicago Fire at Gillette Stadium in the 2005 final and Taylor Twellman’s fourth-minute score gave the Revolution the win at RFK Stadium in ’06. The Revolution captured the conference title for the third time in five successive appearances, avenging a 2004 penalty kick defeat to D.C. United.
