In the 24th round of the 2025 Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua played against Shandong Taishan at home. Mai Mai Tijiang, who serves as the referee, made a controversial penalty and did not award a penalty after the handball in Manafa's penalty area.
In the 12 matches of Maimetijiang Law Enforcement, Shenhua got 5 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, while in the 11 matches of Maimetijiang Law Enforcement, Taishan got 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses.
Maimatijiang has enforced the law this season against Shenhua against Guoan, Rongcheng and the FA Cup against Guoan, and has made controversial penalties many times. In the Beijing-Shanghai battle, after Teixeira fell to the ground in the penalty area, Maimatijiang awarded a penalty kick, but the penalty kick was cancelled after looking back at the slow motion. In the battle against Chengdu, Teixeira was sent off by Maimetijiang for protesting the penalty.
In the 7th minute of the game, Liu Yang passed the ball from the left and hit Manafa's hand. Although Liu Yang raised his hand to signal the first time, referee Mai Mai Tijiang did not make a penalty.
Then, the video assistant referee intervened in the penalty, and also believed that Manafa did not foul. From slow motion, Manafa raised his left arm to block the ball.
Blogger Wei said, "That's it? Maimetijiang doesn't go and see it yourself. Manafa's hand is not in a reasonable position."
