MADRID -- A case into alleged irregularities regarding the transfer of striker Neymar to Spanish club Barcelona has been reopened and the Brazil star could face a trial for fraud, a Madrid court said Friday.The ruling came less than three months after National Court judge Jose de la Mata shelved the complaint brought by Brazilian investment group DIS against Neymar, his father, former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell, Brazilian club Santos and its former president, Odilio Rodrigues.Prosecutors appealed and a group of judges ruled that there is still enough evidence to keep the case alive. The decision opens the way for a trial, although it could still be avoided if the parties reach a deal.Barcelona said it disagreed with the reasoning for the decision to continue the case.Barcelona will maintain the thesis that it has defended all along, showing that all those being investigated are innocent, the club said in a statement.All parties being accused by prosecutors have denied wrongdoing. Neymar and his father, who acts as the players agent, appeared at a Madrid court in February to defend themselves.The Brazilian investment group was entitled to 40 percent of Neymars transfer from Brazilian club Santos in 2013, but claimed it received a smaller compensation than it should have because part of the transfer fee was concealed. An association of professional players in Brazil has also joined DIS in the case.In June, Barcelona paid a fine of 5.5 million euros ($6.2 million) to settle a separate case brought against the club by Spains tax authorities. In that agreement, the club acknowledged it made an error in the fiscal planning of the players transfer.Barcelona said the price of Neymars transfer was 57.1 million euros ($64 million), with Santos receiving 17.1 million euros ($19 million) and a company owned by Neymars parents 40 million euros ($44 million).Prosecutors said the total amount paid by the Spanish club to Santos was 25.1 million euros ($28 million), meaning DIS would be entitled to an additional 3.2 million euros ($3.6 million).Prosecutors said the difference comes from payments made by Barcelona for the future acquisitions of other players, as well as partnerships for friendly matches between the clubs.According to court documents, DIS paid 5 million reals (1.4 million euros; $1.6 million) for its 40 percent of Neymars rights in 2009.Earlier this year, Neymar extended his contract with Barcelona until 2021.In his first three seasons with the Catalan club, the 24-year-old Neymar scored 85 goals in 141 games, forming a potent strike trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.He helped the team win two Spanish leagues, two Copa del Reys, the Champions League, the European Super Cup, the Spanish Super Cup and the Club World Cup.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni.

Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames.BOULDER, Colo. -- For all of Sefo Liufaus tough runs , this one may be the most impressive: His sprint from the locker room back to the field.A hip pointer wasnt going to sideline him in the fourth quarter. Especially not in a game of this magnitude.Liufau threw for 345 yards, rushed for 108 more and scored three touchdowns as No. 10 Colorado beat No. 22 Washington State 38-24 on Saturday in a matchup of unlikely Pac-12 division leaders.Phillip Lindsay added 144 yards rushing and two TDs for the Buffaloes (9-2, 7-1), who can wrap up the South side of the conference if Southern California loses to UCLA later Saturday or by beating Utah next week.It means the world to go out there and win, keep our hopes alive, Liufau said. Its more fun than anything. Weve been in close games for a long time now. Weve gotten a little older and a little better at being consistent and executing.Liufau briefly left in the fourth quarter only to return and pick up a crucial third-and-short that led to a game-sealing TD run by Lindsay. Liufau becomes the second-ever Colorado QB to throw for 300 and rush for 100 in a game, joining Steven Montez, who accomplished the feat at Oregon in September while filling in for a banged-up Liufau.Sefo got hit on the hip and was hurting, Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said. He played really well. He played like I figured Sefo would.Luke Falk threw for 325 yards and three scores for Washington State (8-3, 7-1), which had won eight in a row. The Cougars can still win the North Division with a victory against No. 7 Washington next week.I just thought we were incohesive as far as doing our jobs, Washington State coach Mike Leach said.Colorados defense stepped up after the Buffaloes fell behind 24-21 late in the third quarter. The next four Washington State drives went like this: Turned the ball over on downs, punt, fumble and interception.We lost focus and in the second half we buckled down, defensive back Chidobe Awuzie said.Washington State and Colorado werent really expected to be in position for a division title this late into November. The Cougars were picked to finish fourth in the North during the preseeason conference poll and the Buffaloes last in the South.ddddddddddddLeachs gambling mentality cost the Cougars a possible field goal when he went for it on fourth-and-4 in the fourth quarter. Colorado safety Nick Fisher tackled receiver Kyle Sweet short of the first down.Earlier, Leach rolled the dice on fourth-and-1 at his own 41 and Jamal Morrow rewarded his faith by gaining 30 yards. John Thompson later hauled in a 7-yard TD pass to give the Cougars a 24-21 lead.The Cougars finished 2 of 4 on fourth-down attempts.We were close on two of those, Leach said. One of them I probably should have kicked a field goal. In the end, it probably wouldnt have mattered.TAKEAWAYSWashington State: Standout receiver River Cracraft didnt play because of whats been reported as a torn ACL suffered last week. The Cougars made up for his absence by spreading around the wealth. Ten different players caught at least one pass.Colorado: The defense came up big in the fourth quarter with the only two sacks of Falk. This after being dealt a big blow in the first quarter when safety Afolabi Laguda was ejected for targeting.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Buffaloes have dubbed this season The Rise.

Ill put my body on the line for them.AIRING IT OUTFalk topped the 300-yard mark for the 23rd time in his career.We had a couple miscues, a couple miscommunications, and who knows how it would be? Falk said. But it didnt happen.UP NEXTWashington State: The annual Apple Cup takes on added importance on Friday. The Pac-12 North title will be at stake.Colorado: Close out the regular season by hosting Utah on Friday.
