A late equalizer by Djurgården meant that the third and decisive quarter-final went to extra time.
Then it took until the fifth period before Nicole Hall scored the decision with a shot from close range.
- It feels great and nice to take the team through to the semi-finals.
Deep down, we know we have to be better than Leksand, but anything can happen.
We are now showing that we can work as a team all the way, says Nicole Hall to SVT Sport.
"It's very heavy"
Leksand, chasing the semi-finals for the first time since 2015, led 1–0 and 2–1 but Djurgården came back both times.
Then came the decision in extra time.
- It is very heavy, we do a good job, but it is not enough all the way.
We play a perfectly okay match and it's a bit lucky goal at the end, but it's nothing we can do about now, says Leksand's Hanna Sköld to SVT Sport.
Djurgården lost the first quarter-final but turned the series around and is through to the semi-finals.
From before, Brynäs, Luleå and Modo are ready for the semi-finals.
