Napoli's Rasmus Hojlund netted a stoppage-time penalty to snatch a 3-2 victory at Genoa on Saturday as they finished with 10 men but closed the gap on the top two in Serie A, Reuters reported. 

Hojlund, who also got Napoli's first, slotted home the spot-kick five minutes into added time as the champions moved to 49 points, still six adrift of leaders Inter Milan but one behind second-placed AC Milan, who both have a game in hand.

It was a controversial penalty, after a VAR review found Genoa substitute Maxwel Cornet stood on Antonio Vergara's foot, but a major boost to Napoli hopes of retaining the Scudetto, according to Reuters. 

Barcelona outclassed Mallorca 3-0 at home on Saturday to increase their lead at the top of the LaLiga standings, Reuters reported. 

Hansi Flick's side controlled possession from the start and Marcus Rashford fired narrowly wide before playing a key role in the opener, as Dani Olmo headed his blocked effort into the path of Robert Lewandowski who finished calmly in the 29th minute.

Barcelona pushed on after halftime, with Marc Casado hitting the post and the pressure told in the 61st minute when 18-year-old Lamine Yamal struck a superb shot from distance to register his fifth goal in consecutive matches in all competitions, according to Reuters. 

Striker Serhou Guirassy snatched the winner three minutes from time to earn second-placed Borussia Dortmund a 2-1 victory at VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday that cut Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga lead to three points, Reuters reported. 

Guirassy’s 10th league goal of the season came at the end of an intricate set of midfield passes as Dortmund advanced to 48 points from 21 games, three behind Bayern, who host third-placed Hoffenheim on Sunday.

Dortmund dominated the first half and deserved their 38th-minute lead through Julian Brandt, but Konstantinos Koulierakis’ 52nd-minute header put relegation-threatened Wolfsburg back in the contest and they squandered several good chances to take the lead, according to Reuters. 

The District Election Office, Kathmandu, has objected to the use of social media and some online media outlets to violate voters' confidentiality.

The Election Office has drawn attention to all concerned on the need to comply with the election code of conduct and has requested not to violate voter confidentiality. 

As per Section 4 of the Election Code of Conduct, 2082, such acts are prohibited and if such acts are not stopped the process of action will be taken as per the prevailing law.

There is a provision that election campaigning can be carried out only 17 days before the polling day after the publication of the final list of candidates. 

It includes provisions for holding rallies, public meetings or corner meetings, publishing or broadcasting any kind of publicity material in the media, and conducting door-to-door programs for election publicity.

Although information has been provided through discussions, interactions, and publication of information on several occasions to ensure full compliance with this provision of the code of conduct, the Election Office has stated that some political parties, their representatives, and candidates have violated the provision.

The Election Office has drawn attention to the fact that information has been received that corner meetings, publicity, publishing and broadcasting propaganda material, and door-to-door programs are being used to influence voters before the scheduled time.

Code of Conduct Enforcement Officers Muktiram Rijal, Shivaram Bhattarai, Romakanta Kafle, Munkumar KC, Sunita Subedi and Rukmagat Aryal have jointly drawn attention to all aspects of the election code of conduct.
