A banner of referee Ma Ning's "effigy" displayed by fans in the stands quickly went viral on the Internet, triggering strong reactions from inside and outside the soccer community and widespread criticism. It is reported that the CFA has taken note of the incident and initiated an investigation process. According to the regulations, the home club is responsible for the on-site behavior of fans at its home matches, especially for violations. Once the results of the investigation are confirmed, the Songshan Dragons and their home division will face inevitable treatment. The Mt. Longmen side also expressed regret over the incident. Club sources revealed that a total of 4,656 fans entered the stadium to watch the game through the real-name system, and the number of security personnel exceeded 1,300, with the ratio of security to fans being 1 to 3.43. According to the requirements, the content of all banners planned to be hung needed to be audited prior to the game and set up a day in advance. However, due to the cold weather on that day, fans were wearing heavy clothing, security personnel were difficult to carry out strict security checks, and the club did not have the appropriate authority. A club source explained, "As can be seen, some of the banner material was very thin, and if they had been thicker it would have been impossible for them to be brought onto the field." Nonetheless, it is still unfortunate that this incident occurred, and the Songshan Dragons and the tournament area must also take responsibility. The CFA will also handle the matter accordingly.
