Atletico Grau

Match report

Atletico Grau secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Comisionados Unidos in the fifth round of the Clausura tournament at the Estadio Municipal Ambrosio Mac Arroyo on 14 August 2026. The result keeps both sides in the lower half of the table as the competition reaches its closing stages.

Paulo de la Cruz struck the decisive blow in the 51st minute, giving the home side all three points. It was a moment that settled what had been a cagey affair up until that point, and here's the thing — the goal came after Comisionados Unidos had already seen their penalty appeal turned down just fifteen minutes earlier.

Gabriel Alfaro's penalty was cancelled by VAR in the 36th minute, a decision that fundamentally altered the complexion of the second half. Comisionados United went on to dominate possession but never quite found their rhythm, and by then Atletico Grau had already set up shop to protect their lead.

The statistics tell an interesting story. Comisionados Unidos held 56 per cent possession and completed 399 passes compared to their opponents' 308, yet both teams registered four shots on target. The home side blocked six attempts while the visitors created no big chances all afternoon.

Atletico Grau sit 12th with 29 points from 25 matches, two points adrift of Comisionados Unidos who occupy 11th place with 30 points. Neither side can claim this was a statement result, though the home team's defensive organisation — 25 clearances against 17 — proved decisive.
