Core resolution logic:

The team scoring more goals in the second half (including stoppage time) wins.
If both teams score the same number of goals in the second half, the market resolves to a draw.
Only goals scored in the second half count towards the resolution.
Extra time and penalty shoot-outs are excluded.

Edge cases & clarifications:

Postponement: If the game is postponed, the market remains open until the game is completed.
Cancellation: If the game is canceled entirely with no make-up game, the market resolves to a draw.

If neither is available, a consensus of credible reporting is used. If no acceptable data is available within 24 hours, the market resolves 50-50 or to 'Draw' where applicable.
