Dramatic battle for the title, but no drama at the bottom of First Division’s table. Szombierki (Bytom), Polish champions just a few years earlier, was last with 17 points. Cracovia (Krakow) was the other outsider – 15th with 21 points. These two were relegated. LKS (Lodz) was 14th with 25 points – just to point out how weak were the two outsiders. Baltyk (Gdynia) was 13th also with 25 points.
Zaglebie (Sosnowiec) was 12th with 27 points – they usually finished in the lower half of the table, nothing new.
Wisla (Krakow) – 11th with 27 points, a weak season really, but hardly a crisis.
Motor (Lublin) – 10th with 29 points.
GKS Katowice (Katowice) – 9th with 29 points.
Slask (Wroclaw) – 8th with 30 points, Ruch (Chorzow) – 7th, also with 30 points. Slightly weaker than usual, but not really dropping down.
Gornik (Walbrzych) had wonderful season, prehaps their best ever – they finished 6th with 31 points. However, this looked like one-time wonder.
Legia (Warszawa) – 5th with 33 points. Gornik (Zabrze) – 4th with 34 points. Pogon (Szczecin) – 3rd with 38 points. Coming close to the leaders, but not quite strong enough to endure to the end. Similar to Walbrzych’s case – great season, but staying among the best was unlikely.
The top two teams battled to the very end for the title, finished with equal points and goal-difference decided the championship.
Widzew (Lodz), running strong and very difficult to beat got second place with 42 points and +18 goal-difference.
But it was Lech (Poznan) clinching the title – they had goal-difference +26. 19 wins, 4 ties, 7 lost games, 47-21 goal-difference and 42 points. Widzew had the Polish superstar Smolarek and was tough and experienced squad, but perhaps too tough – they lost only 3 games this championship, but tied 12 – more advantageous Lech benefited at the end, although having less famous players than Widzew. It was second consecutive title too, so Lech was doing great.
