Linda Motlhalo was on target to seal Djurgardens' Swedish Damallsvenskan survival following a final day of the season 2-0 victory over Uppsala in Sunday's fixture at Stockholms Stadium.
Going into the final day, Pierre Fondin's team needed a win to stay up, having found themselves in a precarious situation following a four-game winless streak in the Swedish top-flight.
Desperate to beat the drop, Olivia Schough set up Rachel Bloznalis to open the scoring after just four minutes of action for Djurgardens.
In the 21st minute, Motlhalo came close to doubling the lead but her side managed a narrow lead over the already-relegated visitors.
After the match resumption, the hosts continued their search for a second and Tilde Lindwall's fine pass opened the door for Motlhalo to guarantee the safety of Fondin's side 12 minutes from time.
South Africa's Motlhalo featured for 91 minutes of the encounter before she was replaced at the death by Louise Hvarfner, while Ghana's Portia Boakye was in action from the start to finish.
The latest goal for Motlhalo was her second of the season from 18 starts in 20 appearances on her debut outing in Europe.
The victory means Djurgardens have confirmed their survival, with 24 points from 22 matches, escaping the drop with just a point.
