Hello, new to Betangel trader. Placed a trade on over 1.5 goals. Other than the market closing before the end of the match is there a way of telling if the bet won or goals scored other than going to another site to see the score. Also if i wanted to trade out after the first goal how do i know what the score is. Thanks.

You can create a simple rules file to retrieve the 'Winner Status' as a Stored Value for a market once its closed
There are some examples you can download which do this and also display in various areas of Bet Angel, here are a few variations which should help get you started

download/file.php?id=29282

Regarding the score (and goals), Betfair don't provide this via their API so the next best thing (unless you can scrape them yourself from a web source and push them into Bet Angel) is to derive the score using an automation file

There are two examples which might help
The simpler and easier method - viewtopic.php?t=12490
The more accurate method (but more complex) - viewtopic.php?t=27973
