About This Event
In the upcoming match between Manchester City FC and Brighton & Hove Albion FC, scheduled for October 31, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET: This market will resolve to "Manchester City FC" if Manchester City FC are the first to score within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time. This market will resolve to "Brighton & Hove Albion FC" if Brighton & Hove Albion FC are the first to score within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time. If neither team scores within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time, this market will resolve "Neither". If the game is postponed, this market will remain open until the game has been completed. If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve to "Neither". This market refers only to the outcome within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalty shoot-outs are excluded. 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. All markets will settle based on the official final result as recognized by the governing body or event organizers. 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.

What the contract measures
The event is a single match-level question: which outcome is first to score in the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time. [1] The provider lists three contracts on the same event. One resolves to "Manchester City FC" if that team scores first, one resolves to "Brighton & Hove Albion FC" if that team scores first, and one resolves to "Neither" if no team scores in that window. [1] Extra time and penalty shoot-outs are excluded. [1]
The rules also cover edge cases. If the game is postponed, the market "will remain open until the game has been completed." If the game is canceled with no make-up game, the market resolves to "Neither." [1] The source excerpt names official statistics as the primary resolution source, with fallbacks to Flashscore and Sofascore. [1]
Reading the snapshot
The provider observed these prices at 2026-10-16T03:00:06.094Z, and the record was retrieved at 2026-10-16T05:58:59.092Z. [1] These are snapshots from that observation time, not current quotes. Each contract shows Yes at 0.49 and No at 0.51. [1]
The three contracts should be read separately. Their Yes prices are not parts of one probability distribution, and they should not be averaged or summed. The "Neither" contract uses different wording from the two team contracts, so it answers a different question. The listed end time for all three is 2026-10-28T19:30:00.000Z. [1] Differences in price between these contracts do not, by themselves, indicate an arbitrage opportunity. The snapshot also does not include volume or order book depth, so it says nothing about liquidity.
The evidence states that all saved markets for this event are included and that the sample is not partial. [1] The provider's own warning, however, is that this does not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome. [1] The sample therefore covers only these three contracts.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not explain why these prices are where they are, and this summary does not infer a cause. It also does not show how many traders hold each position, whether any recent team news exists, or how accurate similar markets have been historically.
The match is described as "upcoming" and scheduled for October 28, 2026 at 3:30 PM ET. [1] The evidence does not confirm that the game will be played on that schedule. Postponement or cancellation would change how the market resolves, as described above. [1] Because the snapshot is from a few hours before retrieval, prices may have changed since the observation time.

Saved Oct 16, 2026 UTCOverview
This PredictPedia entry covers a Polymarket event tied to a scheduled match between Manchester City FC and Brighton & Hove Albion FC, with the contracts asking which team, if either, scores first. The event's listed match date is October 28, 2026 at 3:30 PM ET [1]. The provider's rules state that the contracts refer only to the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time, so extra time and penalty shoot-outs are excluded [1]. Under those rules, one contract resolves to Manchester City FC if that team scores first, a second resolves to Brighton & Hove Albion FC if that team scores first, and a third resolves to "Neither" if no team scores in that window [1]. The rules also cover unusual situations. If the match is postponed, the market stays open until the game is completed. If the match is canceled entirely with no make-up game, the market resolves to "Neither" [1]. The provider names official event statistics as the primary resolution source. If the governing body or organizers have not published final match statistics within two hours after the event ends, the rules allow Flashscore data, then Sofascore data, and then a consensus of credible reporting if the earlier sources are unavailable [1]. If no acceptable data exists within 24 hours of the event's conclusion, the market resolves 50-50, or to "Draw" where that option applies [1]. The saved event includes three markets, all shown as active at the observation time [1]. Each market lists a Yes price of 0.49 and a No price of 0.51 in the snapshot. These figures are prices recorded at one point in time. They are not executable quotes or verified probabilities, and the volume figures in the provider data do not indicate liquidity or the number of traders.
Why It Matters
The contracts measure which outcome the provider's rules will treat as the first goal in a single match, within a defined time window. Because the window is limited to the first 90 minutes plus stoppage time, a goal scored in extra time or a penalty shoot-out does not affect these contracts [1]. The rules also define how postponements, cancellations and missing data are handled, which determines whether a market stays open, resolves to "Neither", or settles at 50-50 or "Draw" [1]. Readers should read the resolution terms directly, since the outcome depends on the provider's official-source hierarchy and not on general reporting about the match.
