Police have praised crowd behaviour at an A-League soccer game, the first Victory-Western Sydney clash since a violent brawl broke-out between fans in the Melbourne CBD.

Victorian Police Assistant Commissioner Andrew Crisp said he was happy with the crowd's conduct at the Tuesday night game at AAMI Park. He said police broke-up a fight between two men and eight people were ejected from the game, mostly for anti-social behaviour.

When the two teams previously clashed on December 28, Victory and Western Sydney Wanderers fans brawled outside a Melbourne hotel, leaving several injured.

Football Federation Australia previously announced Western Sydney Wanderers and Melbourne Victory would be stripped of three competition points should their fans misbehave again this season.
