Auckland City FC are not taking anything for granted despite holding a two goal advantage in their OFC Champions League Football semifinal with AS Tefana.

Auckland City defeated Tefana 2-0 in Tahiti last weekend meaning they are in the box seat as they attempt to make their seventh consecutive final appearance.

Their coach Ramon Tribulietx told OFC TV there is no chance of Auckland City being complacent.

"I understand that in football you can never say it's done until the referee blows the whistle," Tribulietx said.

"There is another 90 minutes to be played.

"We play it at home but anything can happen," he said.

Trubulietx said his team needs to make sure it respects Tefana.

"Again there is another 90 minutes to be played and nothing's done."
