Goalscorer Shane Smeltz insists New Zealand must not get carried away despite Saturday's famous victory over fellow World Cup qualifiers Serbia.

Smeltz scored the only goal midway through the first half as the All Whites upset a side 63 places above them in FIFA's world rankings.

And he said: "It's great to get a win over a nation like Serbia who some are saying are dark horses for the World Cup. We'll take some confidence from it obviously, but we won't be getting carried away."
