The Wizards continued good play took them through the playoffs and into MLS Cup 2000 versus the Chicago Fire where they finished their season in a 1-0 victory earning the club the MLS Double. 2000 was the first season that MLS games could finish in a draw, but to do so tied matches had an additional ten-minute overtime.
