In the second round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on March 9, 2024, Shandong Taishan will host Beijing Guoan in the first "Battle of Beijing and Lu" of the season. The Football Association has announced that Ma Ning will be the referee for the match.
Manning is an experienced referee who has demonstrated a high level of enforcement ability in past matches. He has enforced a number of important matches, including the Asian Cup final, and his decisions have been widely recognized. However, his enforcement is also under scrutiny as his decisions in certain matches have also been controversial.
Manning's enforcement will once again be in the spotlight in this Beijing-Lu match. Shandong Taishan and Beijing Guoan are both strong teams in the Chinese Super League and this game is very important for both sides.
