Wisła Płock II vs Chemik Bydgoszcz

The first half was a scrappy, midfield-dominated affair. Chemik coach Wiktor Osiński fielded his established first-choice XI — including new signing goalkeeper Oskar Klon, who started his first game since returning to the club — while Wisła Płock II pressed but created only half-chances.

Wisła's best opportunity came in the 14th minute when a shot from inside the box was blocked by Chemik's defence. Patryk Perliński headed wide from a Stanisław Wędzelewski cross in the 24th minute. Just before the break, Klon tipped a sharp-angle effort away and then smothered a follow-up attempt, keeping the score 0-0 at half-time.

Osiński swapped the entire XI at the break, giving minutes to academy players and trialists. The second half was livelier. Chemik hit the crossbar in the 74th minute after a defensive error gifted them a clear chance, and Wisła immediately responded by striking the post at the other end.

The decisive moment arrived in the 85th minute. A Chemik centre-back — one of the trialists — played a long, flat ball forward. A Wisła defender misjudged it, allowing the ball to reach another Chemik trialist, who broke clear and finished neatly past the goalkeeper. It was the only goal of the match, confirmed by the official provider (source: Betmana provider payload; Chemik Bydgoszcz official match report).

Chemik controlled the closing stages without further alarm, securing the win.

Oskar Klon (Chemik Bydgoszcz) — The newly signed goalkeeper looked sharp in his first outing back at the club, making several reliable saves in the first half including a crucial block from a tight-angle shot and a follow-up stop just before the interval.

Wiktor Bednarek (Chemik Bydgoszcz) — The most dangerous attacker in the second half, Bednarek fired wide after a rapid counter-attack in the 67th minute and remained a consistent threat down the right flank (source: Chemik Bydgoszcz match report).

Chemik trialists — The unnamed trialists combined for the winning goal, with one providing the assist and the other scoring. Their performances will have given Osiński selection decisions ahead of the season.

The match was tight and low on clear-cut chances. Wisła Płock II had the better of the first half without converting, while Chemik grew into the game after the interval. Both sides hit the woodwork in the second half — Chemik struck the crossbar (74'), Wisła hit the post in the immediate response. The clean sheet was Chemik's standout achievement: their defensive unit, split across two entirely different XIs, kept Wisła scoreless despite conceding territory.

This was the first of three pre-season friendlies for Chemik Bydgoszcz ahead of the 2026/27 Betclic 3 Liga season (Group II). They face GKS Wikielec away on 18 July, followed by a home fixture against Stomil Olsztyn on 25 July (source: Chemik Bydgoszcz pre-season plan). Wisła Płock II, who play in Betclic 3 Liga Group I, will continue their own preparations before the new campaign starts on 1-2 August.

For a betting perspective, Chemik's disciplined defensive structure across two entirely different XIs is a positive early sign, though the lack of a recognised goalscorer — the winner came from a trialist — leaves question marks over their attacking depth.

A typical pre-season friendly: low on quality, high on effort. Chemik's squad depth and defensive organisation stood out, while Wisła will rue missed chances. The trialist winner ensures Osiński has decisions to make — but the clean sheet and the win are the headline takeaways.
