This market centers on the 2026 FIFA World Cup group-stage fixture between Spain and Saudi Arabia, with attention focused on how many goals the two teams combine to score across the full ninety minutes of play. The pairing is a notable focal point because it sets one of the world's most fluent, possession-dominant sides against a disciplined, counter-attacking Saudi team intent on staying compact and frustrating superior opponents, a contrast in approach that shapes expectations for how open and high-scoring the encounter becomes. Traders are assessing the likelihood that the match yields a steady flow of goals rather than a tight, low-scoring affair, weighing Spain's attacking depth against Saudi Arabia'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 the combined number of goals scored by both teams is more than three — that is, the combined tally is 4 or more. It resolves NO if the combined total is three or fewer (0, 1, 2, or 3). 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 "Total Goals Scored": The total is the sum of all goals — including own goals — credited to either Spain or Saudi Arabia 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. An own goal counts toward the team it is officially awarded to (the beneficiary team) and is included in the combined total regardless of which team it benefits. As this is a group-stage fixture, no extra time or penalty shootout is played; only goals scored within regulation time count toward this market.

3. Official Sources and Evidence: Primary source: Highlightly.net API (https://highlightly.net/) 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 Highlightly.net, 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 reports between sources, the official FIFA match report takes precedence. 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 Window and Pause: Trading remains open throughout the match, from kickoff until the referee signals full-time. Because the combined goal total can only rise, the YES outcome (more than three goals) becomes irreversibly determined the moment the fourth goal of the match is scored; at that instant trading is paused immediately and all open positions are locked through to resolution. The NO outcome (three or fewer goals) cannot be locked before full-time, since a further goal always remains possible, so trading continues to full-time and then locks pending resolution.
