Côte d'Ivoire vs. Norway - Halftime Result

Platform comparison

Market context

The FIFA World Cup Round of 32 match between Côte d'Ivoire and Norway at AT&T Stadium in Dallas has concluded its first half, with Norway leading 1-0 thanks to Antonio Nusa’s 40th-minute strike. This outcome directly determines the settlement of the halftime result market, where the “YES” outcome for Côte d'Ivoire winning at halftime now carries a crowd-implied probability of 0%, reflecting the confirmed scoreline.

Historically, in World Cup knockout fixtures, a single-goal lead at halftime rarely flips to a home win unless the trailing side dominates the second half, but halftime markets are settled solely on the first 45 minutes plus stoppage time. Comparable cases from recent tournaments show that when a team like Norway, with Haaland in the lineup, scores before the 45th minute, the probability of the opponent winning at halftime collapses to near zero, as seen in similar Group I and Round of 32 matches where early goals dictated final halftime outcomes[4][5].

Traders should monitor official post-match reports from the Source Agency for any late revisions, though such changes are uncommon once the initial result is published[1]. While the match has ended, the settlement window remains open until 2026-06-30T17:00:00Z, and platforms like Polymarket, Kalshi, Betfair, and Smarkets may diverge in how they display this outcome—some using decimal odds, others implied probability, and varying in KYC requirements and fee structures. For instance, Kalshi requires US residency and strict KYC, whereas Polymarket operates with minimal identity checks, and Betfair’s fee model differs significantly from Smarkets’ lower commission rates on settled contracts. No recent news source has altered the confirmed 1-0 halftime score, which stands as the definitive settlement basis[2][3].
