Sierra Leone youngster Mustapha Bundu scored the winner for AGF with a fantastic last-gasp goal in the 90th minute in their 2-1 victory over SønderjyskE on Thursday at Ceres Park.
The victory means they are sure to play in the Danish Superliga next season after they secured 41 points.
Following a tough season, AGF was drawn in Group A in the relegation qualifiers alongside AC Horsens, SønderjyskE and Vejle BK in the race for survival.
The goal was Bundu, 22, fourth in all competition but a precious one as they secured their Danish Super League status.
Left-back Casper Hojer scored AGF’s opener in the 17 minutes when his free lick beat SønderjyskE keeper Sebastian Mielitz before Christian Jakobsen assisted by Eggert Jónsson level the score-line three minute after.
In the second half, it was all to play for as South Jutland took over the initiative, and among others, the attacker Mart Lieder had a great opportunity, which he missed.
At the end of the match, Sønderjyske tried to establish more pressure on the home team, but in the 88th minute, midfielder Marcel Rømer was sent off.
The AGF controlled the match during the final minutes, Mustapha Bundu received the ball, dribbling out a couple of SønderjyskE players before placing a shot through the legs of SønderjyskE goalkeeper for a decisive winner.

Kaikai, who joined Breda on a permanent move in January from Crystal Palace, was hoping for regular playing time but has found first-team chances limited in the Eredivisie.
NAC Breda acquired the 23-year-old, in a bid to revive their season. However, things have been very difficult for the struggling side.
“It’s been frustrating as I haven’t played the amount minutes I was hoping for,” Kaikai told Football Sierra Leone.
“I’m a player who wants to be an important member of the team and show my qualities on the pitch. I’ll keep working hard to get more minutes and have a positive impact.”
Since his move, the winger has only appeared in five games with 182 minutes played and has yet to register a goal but is pleased with the Dutch style of football.
“I like the style of Dutch football very much. It’s a style that suits my playing style. Players are comfortable on the ball in all situations, they like to build up from the keeper.”
With four more games to go, this Sunday NAC Breda will take on 14th placed team Fortuna Sittard in round 31 a game they must win to renew any hope of survival.
“We will approach each game like it’s a cup final. We are fighting to stay in the league so we will give 100%. It’s important for a club like NAC Breda to stay in the Eredivisie.”
