CA Grau vs. CD Comerciantes Unidos

Platform comparison

Market context

CA Grau host CD Comerciantes Unidos in Peru Liga 1, and Polymarket has already pushed the contract to 100% YES, which is the strongest possible price signal that the market is treating the match outcome as fully resolved in favour of the condition. On Polymarket, the position sits on USDC collateral on Polygon and is represented through conditional tokens, so the remaining question for holders is not the football logic but whether the on-chain settlement path has actually closed.

For context, this is not a normal live-match price any more: the market window ended at 2026-08-14T20:00:00Z, the scheduled kick-off was around 20:00 UTC on 14 August, and public match listings showed Grau against Comerciantes Unidos in Liga 1 that evening[2][4][13]. When a football contract is pinned at 100%, comparable cases usually reflect either a completed result, a confirmation already absorbed by the market, or a resolution event that has left no room for uncertainty, rather than a pure pre-match view. In practice, traders read these extremes alongside the fixture status, the scoreboard, and any official feed that could still affect settlement.

The main catalysts to watch are straightforward: whether the match was completed, whether the relevant competition feed and final score are aligned, and whether any schedule change, postponement, or abandonment affected the resolution time. Recent listings and live score pages pointed to the fixture being played on 14 August at Estadio Municipal Ambrosio Maco Arroyo, with score updates appearing on match trackers as the game progressed[1][2][13]. For anyone holding the contract, the practical focus is the final state of the event and the market’s on-chain settlement, not the team news that mattered before kick-off.
