Ma Ning steals the spotlight in the Super League championship battle! Dig 8 yellow and 1 red, the harbor controversy handball penalty + Wu Lei fell to the ground and did not blow

In the 23rd round of the Chinese Super League that ended on the evening of August 17, Beijing time, Shenhua defeated the leader Shanghai Port 3-1, narrowing the difference between the two sides to 2 points, and the suspense of the championship resumed. In this game, the referee on duty and the famous whistle Ma Ning once again stole the show. He sent off one of Harbour men in just seven minutes and awarded Shenhua a penalty, and Ma Ning also ignored the controversial scene of Wu Lei being tripped by Jiang Shenglong with a single knife. Objectively, it led to the defeat of the harbor.

In this game, the away Harbour got off to a perfect start. After just 12 minutes, they took advantage of a tactical corner from the left, Vargas crossed to the back post, and Wang Shenchao broke the deadlock with a header.

Seeing that the game was about to show the trend of harbor suppressing Shenhua, a dramatic scene appeared. In the 23rd minute of the game, harbor central defender Wei Zhen stepped directly on Fernando's calf due to a mistake in a defense, and the latter immediately rolled on the ground with his leg in pain. The referee Ma Ning, who was not far away, was very decisive and directly showed Wei Zhen a red card and sent him off.

That wasn't the end of the game, in the 25th minute of the game, Harbour suffered another blow. Fernando's cross created a suspected handball in the penalty area by another central defender of the harbor, Jiang Guangtai.

After VAR intervened, referee Ma Ning went to the sidelines to watch the replay for a long time, and in the 29th minute, he chose to award a penalty to Shenhua, although Jiang Guangtai angrily protested and bluntly said that the ball was hit on his shoulder, but he was powerless to change the result. However, then, Shenhua's penalty kick by Luiz was saved by Yan Junling due to poor angle and strength, and Harbour escaped.

In stoppage time of the half, Harbour narrowly doubled their advantage with one man less. Wu Lei's anti-offside position almost formed a single knife, but he was put down by Jiang Shenglong. Ma Ning didn't say anything about this, and even protested because of dissatisfaction, giving Lu Wenjun on the bench of the harbor a yellow card. Just imagine, if Wu Lei gets a single knife this time and scores, helping Harbour expand the score to 2-0, the trend of the game will be completely different.

In addition to creating controversy again, in the whole game, Ma Ning frantically took out 8 yellows and 1 red, of which Shenhua Amadou, Jiang Shenglong, Chen Jinyi, Gao Tianyi, and Fernando received yellow cards. And the harbor also has Chitadini and Lu Wenjun, Jiang Guang was dissatisfied with the penalty in stoppage time and protested against the yellow, and Wei Zhen was sent off by Zhihong. Ma Ning also once again showed his reputation as a "card master".
