West Ham's 3-1 win over MLS side Columbus Crew was marred by crowd trouble in Ohio on Sunday.
More than 100 fans became involved in a brawl at half-time of the game before police officers and security staff eventually separated the groups.
On the field West Ham striker Dean Ashton have his side the perfect start with a clinical finish after just six minutes.
Columbus Crew equalised on 20 minutes when Jason Garey headed home Cory Elenio's cross.
The Hammers restored their lead six minutes later when Crew midfielder Brad Evans turned the ball into his own net under pressure from Mark Noble.
Kyel Reid sealed the win for Alan Curbishley's men when he netted from close range on 53 minutes.
The win sets West Ham up for their next game against a team of MLS All-Stars on Thursday in Toronto.
