The primary resolution source for this market is the official statistics of the event as recognized by the governing body or event organizers. However, if the governing body or event organizers have not published final match statistics within 2 hours after the event's conclusion, data from Flashscore may be used; if Flashscore data is unavailable, data from Sofascore may be used; if neither is available, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead.

Revisions to officially declared final scores made after market resolution will not be accounted for in determining the outcome. If no acceptable data is available within 24 hours of the event's conclusion, this market will resolve 50-50, or to "Draw" where applicable.

On Polymarket, this market is priced through a continuous trading mechanism where participants buy and sell shares representing their belief in each outcome. The price of a share directly reflects the probability of that outcome occurring, as perceived by the market participants. On Polymarket, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. As more traders buy shares in a particular outcome, its price increases, indicating a higher perceived probability. Conversely, selling pressure drives the price down. This creates a dynamic and responsive pricing system that aggregates the collective intelligence of the crowd.
This market resolves around Sep 18, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. Specifically, the resolution will be based on which team, if any, scores the first goal during the first half of the RCD Espanyol de Barcelona versus Elche CF match. The official match records will serve as the basis for determining the winning outcome. The platform will verify the result against these sources to ensure accuracy and transparency.
Several factors could influence trading activity in this market. Any news regarding team lineups, player injuries, or changes in coaching strategy could significantly shift the perceived probabilities. Unexpected weather conditions or referee announcements might also play a role. Furthermore, general sentiment surrounding team performance, based on recent matches or expert analysis, can impact trading volume and price movements. A late surge in support for one team could drive up their share price, while negative news could cause a decline.
