Around 150 football fans ran onto the field around 8pm after flares were thrown into the crowd.
Police have now released a photo of a man they want to speak to in relation to that.
A match official was hurt and a cameraman was also injured after being hit on the head with a flare, police said.
Investigators have released a photos of men they believe might be able to help with their probes into ripping of flares, assaults, criminal damage and invading the field.
North-West Metro Region Specialist Operations Acting Superintendent Jason Goddard called the events "disgraceful" and "disgusting," and said the fans "lacked total respect for the game of football."
"I'm a lover of the game and I actually feel sad about what I saw play out on the pitch last night," he said.
"Along with thousands of supporters, Victoria Police condemn the behaviour."
He said he has "no doubt" police will be "knocking on a few doors soon."
A dedicated group of detectives are investigating as part of Operation Astute, backed by Football Australia, A-League officials and the clubs.
