Forest Green Rovers clinched their Conference survival on goal difference with victory over Stevenage.
Stevenage had missed several chances before Bruno Teixeira swept home Sekani Simpson's cross to put Rovers ahead.
Rovers sealed the points and their safety when Julian Alsop stole in to head home Damon Searle's cross.
The only sour note on Rovers' afternoon came when defender Darren Jones was sent off with Borough's Jefferson Louis following a scuffle.
