As early as the seventh minute, Apoel took the lead.
Djurgårds goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterström was responsible for a weak intervention on a corner and then Anton Maglica was able to push the ball in in front of the fanatical home supporters.
10 minutes later, Djurgården wanted a penalty when Haris Radetinac's tackle caught the hand of an Apoel defender, but the referee chose to clear.
Just a few minutes later, the German Danny Blum brought the home team into a 2-0 lead.
They got a free kick from a fairly narrow angle, but Blum pulled it in at the front post.
Djurgården was under pressure, but with 20 minutes left of the regular game time they managed to reduce.
Victor Edvardsen poked the ball to Hjalmar Ekdal who eased it over to Elias Andersson who in turn kicked the ball in.
It still managed to be exciting once again.
Just minutes later, Marquinhos made it 3-1 for Apoel.
In the 91st minute, Joel Asoro really secured DIF's promotion when he scored a counter-attack goal that made it 3-2.
At the end of the match it got really rowdy as Djurgården didn't want to take a corner because things were thrown onto the field.
Djurgården won 5-3 overall over two games.
This means that they are ready for the group stage in the Europa Conference League, which begins on September 8.
The groups are already drawn on Friday this week.
