ahorra (from 'ahorrar' - 'to save') = 'saves' in the sense of
'saves money'.
salva (from 'salvar' - 'to save') = 'saves' in the sense of
'providing salvation'.
guarda (from 'guardar' - 'to protect') = 'saves' in the sense of
'saves a computer file.
previene (from 'prevenir' - 'to prevent') = 'saves' in the sense
of 'saves a goal'.
There are various other possibilities, but I suspect this is the
one you are seeking?
