This market centers on the Group G fixture of the 2026 FIFA World Cup between Iran and New Zealand, with attention focused on whether both teams manage to score in the same match. The encounter is a meaningful focal point because it brings together two sides of broadly comparable standing chasing a vital opening result, where defensive caution and the high stakes of a tournament debut often shape whether goals arrive at both ends. Traders are assessing the likelihood that each team finds the net at least once, rather than one or both being shut out, weighing the attacking and defensive balance of the two nations against the cagey scoring patterns frequently seen in evenly matched World Cup group-stage games.

1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: The market resolves YES if both Iran and New Zealand each score at least one goal in the match. It resolves NO if either team — or both — fails to score, meaning the final scoreline records a zero for at least one of the two teams. 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 "Both Teams Score": Each team must be credited with one or more goals in the official match record during the 90 minutes of regulation play plus any referee-added stoppage time. An own goal counts toward the team it is credited to in the official record (i.e., it counts as a goal for the team it benefits), and such a goal satisfies the scoring requirement for that team. Goals scored in extra time or a penalty shootout do not count, as this is a FIFA World Cup group-stage match resolved under 90-minute rules, and no such period is played.

3. Official Sources and Evidence: Primary source: Highlightly.net API (https://highlightly.net/) for the official match result and goalscorer data. Secondary sources for corroboration: ESPN, BBC Sport, 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 and goalscorer record are posted on Highlightly.net, with no additional waiting buffer. Trading stops 65 minutes after the match starts (see Rule 7) and all open positions are locked through to resolution.

5. Handling Postponements and Cancellations: If the match is postponed, suspended, cancelled, or abandoned before completion, the market remains open during a 12-hour waiting period to allow the fixture to be completed. If the match is delayed more than 12 hours past the scheduled kickoff with no eligible finished result, 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 that window.

6. Ambiguities and Disputes: In the event of conflicting scoreline or goalscorer reports between sources, the official FIFA match report takes precedence, and any dispute over goal attribution — including whether a goal is credited to a team or recorded as an own goal in that team's favour — is resolved by that report. If the primary source (Highlightly.net) 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 Deadline: Trading stops 65 minutes after the match starts — the scheduled kickoff plus 65 minutes (approximately 2026-06-16 02:05 UTC). No positions may be opened, increased, or closed after that point, regardless of any delay to the actual kickoff or variation in stoppage time. All open positions are locked through to resolution.
