This market centers on the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32 knockout fixture between Portugal and Croatia, with attention focused on whether both teams manage to find the net across the full course of play, including any extra time required to separate the sides. The tie is a notable focal point because it is a single-elimination contest between two experienced European sides that must produce a winner to advance, pitting Portugal's deep, attack-minded squad against a technically assured Croatian team built around midfield control and tournament pedigree. Traders are assessing the likelihood that both teams score at least once rather than one defence keeping a clean sheet, weighing each side's attacking quality against its defensive organisation and the tighter, more cautious scoring patterns typical of World Cup knockout football.

1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: The market resolves YES if both teams each score at least one goal in counted match time — that is, Portugal and Croatia both register a goal tally of 1 or more. It resolves NO if at least one team fails to score (including any 0-0 result, or any result in which only one team scores). Because this is a knockout fixture, counted match time includes any extra time played, but goals scored in a penalty shootout are excluded. 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 at least one goal in the official match record within counted match time, defined as the 90 minutes of normal play plus referee-added stoppage time, plus — if the tie is level after 90 minutes — the two 15-minute periods of extra time and their stoppage time. Counting ends at the referee's final whistle of the last period played. Goals scored in a penalty shootout do NOT count toward this market: if the tie is decided by a shootout, only goals scored up to the end of extra time are counted, so a team that scores only in the shootout is not treated as having scored. An own goal counts toward the team it is officially awarded to (the beneficiary team); accordingly, a team is treated as having scored if the only goal credited to it is an own goal by the opponent.

3. Official Sources and Evidence: Primary source: the Sportmonks API (https://www.sportmonks.com/) for the full-time result, extra-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 no sooner than 1 hour after the official final result — inclusive of any extra 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 final result is reached, the market remains open during a 24-hour waiting period to allow the fixture to be completed. If no eligible completed final 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 reports between sources, the Sportmonks record takes precedence. 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 counted play (full-time, or the end of extra time if played). The YES outcome (both teams score) becomes irreversibly determined the moment the second of the two teams registers its first goal in counted time — that is, once each of Portugal and Croatia has scored at least once; at that instant trading is paused immediately and all open positions are locked through to resolution. The NO outcome cannot be locked before the end of counted play, since whichever team has not yet scored may still do so in the remaining regulation or extra time. If the tie proceeds to a penalty shootout, the shootout does not affect this market and trading remains locked pending resolution.
