The footballer, who had signed for Cardiff City but had not yet played for his new club, died after his plane crashed over the Channel last month. Pilot David Ibbotson is also presumed dead, but his body has not been found yet.
Southampton confirmed that the police had spoken to two men in a statement, promising to ban the supporters involved.
"The club will continue to work with the Hampshire police to identify those alleged to have made indecent gestures towards Cardiff supporters," the club added, according to the Agence France-Presse.
"Such behavior is out of place in our game and will not be tolerated in St Mary's." The club will take an extremely firm stance against anyone involved and intends to ban identified fans. "
Sala's body was found following a private search commissioned by her family and funded through a crowdfunding campaign that mobilized the support of several prominent football players.
Before the match, players and supporters of both teams observed a minute of silence at St Mary's Stadium in Southampton. Cardiff finally won the match 2-1.
But the incident still put the unpleasant behavior of pockets of English football fans in the spotlight during a season that was sometimes marked by offensive chants and fan violence.
Police confirmed that arrests had occurred after clashes between supporters during another match Saturday, between Watford and Everton.
