This market centers on the 2026 FIFA World Cup group-stage fixture between South Africa and Republic of Korea, with attention focused on how many goals Republic of Korea can score across the full ninety minutes of play. The pairing is a notable focal point because it sets an organised, energetic South African side against a Korean team built on pace, pressing, and directness in the final third, a contrast in approach that shapes expectations for how many clear chances Republic of Korea can create and convert. Traders are assessing the likelihood that Republic of Korea produces multiple goals rather than being limited to a single strike or none at all, weighing its attacking quality against South Africa's defensive organisation and the typical scoring patterns of World Cup group-stage encounters.

1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: The market resolves YES if Republic of Korea scores more than one goal — that is, Republic of Korea's goal tally is 2 or more. It resolves NO if Republic of Korea scores one goal or none (0 or 1), regardless of South Africa's score or the final match result. There is no Tie outcome for the result itself; a Tie applies only under the postponement and cancellation conditions in Rule 5.

2. Definition of "Republic of Korea's Goals Scored": The tally is the total number of goals credited to Republic of Korea in the official match record over regulation time, defined as the 90 minutes of normal play plus any referee-added stoppage time in both halves, ending the moment the referee signals full-time. It includes any own goal scored by a South Africa player that is officially awarded to Republic of Korea as the beneficiary team, and excludes any own goal by a Republic of Korea player (which is credited to South Africa). Only Republic of Korea's goals count toward this market; South Africa's goals are irrelevant to resolution. As this is a group-stage fixture, no extra time or penalty shootout is played; only goals scored within regulation time count.

3. Official Sources and Evidence: Primary source: Sportmonks API (https://www.sportmonks.com/) for the official full-time result and goalscorer data. Secondary sources for corroboration: ESPN, BBC Sport, Soccerway, FlashScore, and the official FIFA website (fifa.com). The official FIFA match report is the definitive record in the event of any discrepancy.

4. Resolution Timing: The market resolves the moment the official full-time result is confirmed on Sportmonks, with no additional waiting buffer. 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 full-time, the market remains open during a 12-hour waiting period to allow the fixture to be completed. If no eligible completed full-time result exists more than 12 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 regulation-time result is used.

6. Ambiguities and Disputes: In the event of conflicting scoreline or goalscorer reports between sources, the official FIFA match report takes precedence. If the primary source (Sportmonks) is unavailable at resolution time, a consensus of at least two secondary sources is used. 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 full-time. Because Republic of Korea's goal tally can only rise, the YES outcome (more than one goal) becomes irreversibly determined the moment Republic of Korea scores its second goal; at that instant trading is paused immediately and all open positions are locked through to resolution. The NO outcome (one Republic of Korea goal or none) cannot be locked before full-time, since a further Republic of Korea goal always remains possible, so trading continues to full-time and then locks pending resolution.
