After a long time of extra time, the KDFF players could gather for a hug party when the final signal went.
It was a nervous final minutes in Piteå after the speaker in the arena trumpeted that Eskilstuna turned at home against Häcken and led 3-2, which ended the match.
With eight minutes left in Piteå, Kristianstad had to hold the lead to reach the qualifying spot.
Piteå also had a rib shot by Hanna Andersson a few minutes after Eskilstuna's lead goal.
Kristianstad seemed to be stuck in the second half when Amanda Edgren stayed close to the goal and kicked in 2-1.
It looked to be offside but a Piteå player had lingered down at the short line and canceled the offside in the middle of the second half.
Before the last round of the day, in addition to KDFF and Eskilstuna, Vittsjö and Kif Örebro also had a theoretical chance to reach the CL qualifying place.
