Chojniczanka Chojnice finished its season with a 2:0 win over Rekord Bielsko-Biała, and the final whistle brought a third straight victory rather than a celebration of a promotion push. Marcin Kozina scored in the 5th minute, Valerijs Sabala added the second in the 34th, and the result locked in an eighth-place finish.
For Marek Brzozowski, the ending carried what he called a "Słodko-gorzki" feeling. The coach said Chojniczanka knew the target had been within reach, but the team failed to extend its fight for the promotion playoffs, even if the run from the bottom end of the table to a much safer position gave the season a stronger finish than it once seemed capable of delivering.
The match in Chojnice closed the Betclic 2. liga campaign with more than three points on the board. Sabala’s goal also shaped the individual picture, leaving him as the division’s vice-top scorer, one goal behind Kamil Sabiłło of Unia Skierniewice. That narrow miss will sit alongside the team result when the season is judged: a strong finish, but not the one Chojniczanka was chasing.
Brzozowski did not hide the gap between the ending and the plan. He said the team felt the goal of continuing the battle for the promotion playoffs was there for the taking, that it did not happen, but that the journey itself mattered and built something useful for what comes next. That is why the club’s next decisions now carry more weight than a routine offseason reset.
Chojniczanka will resume preparations on June 22, with the next season scheduled to begin in the last weekend of July. In the coming days, the club is also expected to reveal its transfer list and the names of players whose contracts will not be extended, the first real sign of how much of this group will be carried into the new campaign.
