Will both teams score during Argentina vs Switzerland match?

About Market

MARKET SUMMARY

This market centers on the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter-final knockout fixture between Argentina and Switzerland at Kansas City Stadium, with attention focused on whether each side finds the net at least once across the regulation ninety minutes plus stoppage time. The tie is a compelling focal point because it is a single-elimination contest that must produce a place in the semi-finals, matching a reigning-champion Argentina against a disciplined Switzerland that has built its tournament identity on defensive organisation. Traders are assessing the likelihood that both teams score during counted match time, weighing Argentina's attacking firepower against Switzerland's defensive structure and the tactical restraint typical of World Cup knockout football.

RULES
  1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: The market resolves YES if both Argentina and Switzerland each score at least one goal in counted match time. It resolves NO if at least one of the two teams fails to score in counted match time — that is, any 0-0, or any result in which only one team scores. Counted match time is the regulation 90 minutes plus stoppage time only; goals scored in extra time or a penalty shootout are excluded, even though this is a knockout fixture. The market resolves to Tie only under the postponement and cancellation conditions in Rule 5; in the event of a Tie resolution, all positions settle at $0.50 per share.

  2. Definition of "Both Teams To Score": Both Teams To Score requires that each team is credited with one or more goals at the conclusion of counted match time, defined as the 90 minutes of normal play plus referee-added stoppage time. A goal counts for a team if it is officially credited to that team, including an own goal, which is credited to the benefiting (attacking) team for the purposes of this market. Penalty kicks converted during normal play count; goals scored in extra time or a penalty shootout do NOT count. Resolution is based on the official credited goals for each team at the referee's final whistle of the second half.

  3. Official Sources and Evidence: Primary source: the Sportmonks API (https://www.sportmonks.com/) for the full-time result and goalscorer data. Secondary sources for corroboration only: the official 2026 FIFA World Cup match record published by FIFA (https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup), ESPN, and FlashScore. The Sportmonks record is the definitive record in the event of any discrepancy.

  4. Resolution Timing: The market resolves after the official full-time result — covering the 90 minutes plus stoppage time — is posted on the Sportmonks API. Trading may already be closed or paused under Rule 7; all open positions are locked through to resolution.

  5. Handling Postponements and Cancellations: If the match is postponed, suspended, cancelled, or abandoned before an official full-time result is reached, the market remains open during a 24-hour waiting period to allow the fixture to be completed. If no eligible completed full-time result exists more than 24 hours past the scheduled kickoff, the market resolves to Tie, and all positions settle at $0.50 per share. Partial scores from an abandoned match are ignored unless the fixture is officially resumed and completed within the waiting window, in which case the final counted-time result is used.

  6. Ambiguities and Disputes: In the event of conflicting scoreline or goalscorer reports between sources, the Sportmonks record takes precedence, including its attribution of goals and own goals. If the primary Sportmonks source is unavailable at resolution time, a consensus of at least two secondary sources is used. VAR-confirmed goals follow the official match record. Any result under active official protest or review remains unresolved until FIFA issues a final ruling.

  7. Trading Window and Pause: Trading remains open throughout the match, from kickoff until the referee signals the end of the second half of regulation. The YES outcome may be locked the moment both teams have each scored, because that condition cannot be undone; the NO outcome cannot be locked before the end of counted play, since a team yet to score can still do so in the remaining regulation and stoppage time. At the end of counted play the result is fixed and all open positions are locked through to resolution. If the tie proceeds to extra time or a penalty shootout, those periods do not affect this market and trading remains locked pending resolution.
