A teenage boy has been questioned and released without charge after a Victorian man was stabbed during a brawl following an A-League soccer match in central Sydney.

The fight broke out as Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory fans left Sydney Football Stadium at Moore Park about 10.15pm (AEDT) on Saturday.

Police, called to the intersection of South Dowling and Cleveland Streets in Redfern, found a 24-year-old Victorian man with a stab wound to his back.

He was treated at St Vincent's Hospital and has since been released.

A second Victorian man, 19, was treated for a graze and cleared of suspected concussion before leaving hospital.

He has already spoken to police, who now want to talk to the older man as part of their investigation.

A 16-year-old youth, who was arrested at the scene, was later released without charge.

Sydney FC beat Melbourne Victory 3-2 in Saturday's game.
