Watch: Tongan fans celebrate victory over Kiwis in Otahuhu

While the celebrations were largely good-natured, a police spokesman said there were pockets of unrest and minor traffic congestion in Otahuhu.

There were several arrests for fighting and traffic violations.

In one case, police stopped a car at a Mobil service station, which led to a fight with the occupants of the car. At least a dozen officers took part in the arrests.
