(...) and due to the surprising away success of korona kielce (2-1 at lech poznań) (...)

Was it really that surprising? Lech didn't have much at stake in that game, and I (sort of) called it earlier:

(...) and the 16th Korona also has a hard game to play against Lech, but I don't think Lech has much left to play for (other than just for keeping their 4th place). There's a risk that Lech might do Korona a favour and let them win, although I don't think their fans would appreciate that. (...)

I'm not going to go as far as to say Lech let them win (or sold the game), but I don't think they played it at 100% of their abilities. Marchwinski's tackle, after which he received a red card was a pretty stupid move and set the tone for the rest of the game.
That being said, Lech kept on trying to equalise, despite having a one man disadvantage, they even scored a 2nd goal, but it was denied by the referee.

It was a pretty interesting round.

congratulations to jagiellonia białystok!!!
with a clear 3-0 home win against warta poznań, the club secures the polish championship for the first time in the club's history
and due to the surprising away success of korona kielce (2-1 at lech poznań) warta poznań is relegated to the 2nd league - perhaps city rivalry played a part in the game and lech wanted to send warta to the second division. who knows...

And correct me if I'm wrong but I think Radomiak is also not yet safe from relegation.

you're right, radomiak could still drop to 16th place in the table and be relegated
but a lot of results have to fit, such as korona winning against lech, puszcza and warta playing at least a draw - which i find very difficult to imagine for warta, as jagiellonia have a great opportunity to celebrate the championship with a win at home tomorrow. we will see... Smiley

a third relegated team is also still being sought - korona kielce, warta poznań and puszcza are among the candidates

Warta is in a tough spot, they couldn't imagine any worse game to play in the final round than an away match against a highly motivated leader of the table fighting for the title.
They are currently outside of the relegation zone and the 16th Korona also has a hard game to play against Lech, but I don't think Lech has much left to play for (other than just for keeping their 4th place). There's a risk that Lech might do Korona a favour and let them win, although I don't think their fans would appreciate that.

And correct me if I'm wrong but I think Radomiak is also not yet safe from relegation.

due to jagiellonia's draw (1-1 at piast gliwice) and śląsk wrocław's 2-0 home win against radomiak, there will now be a showdown for the polish championship on the last matchday - both clubs have 60 points...

after the 32nd matchday, ruch chorzów are the second of three relegated teams. due to the victory of puszcza (1-0 against warta poznań), the club no longer has a chance of saving 15th place in the table

It's also going to be hard for Korona Kielce to escape relegation. They're currently in the 16th place and are 4 points behind Puszcza and Cracovia. They are the favourite to win their next game against Ruch Chorzów, since Ruch is considered weaker and has nothing left to play for. But their final game is an away match against Lech, who still has a chance for the 3rd place (giving them a spot in the European Conference League qualifiers), so they'll be super-motivated. It'll be really hard for Korona to earn any points there. And both, Lech and Korona tend to perform much better at home.

and jagiellonia also failed to seize the opportunity and lost 2-3 away at stal mielec on matchday 31...
the big winner of the matchday was śląsk wrocław, who can now close the gap on jagiellonia to 2 points thanks to a 2-1 away win at łks łódz - it seems that some clubs are now getting nervous and don't want to be polish champions Wink

the 29th matchday ended yesterday with a 5-2 home win for warta poznań against stal mielec. the important victory means that wait is now 4 points ahead of 16th place in the table.
but the clubs puszcza and korona kielce were also able to pick up 3 important points against relegation with their victories - in any case, it remains very exciting at the bottom.
at the top of the table, jagiellonia now have a 4-point lead over śląsk wrocław and lech poznań again
