Tottenham head coach Juande Ramos insists there will be no talk of Wembley until their UEFA Cup tie with Slavia Prague is over next Thursday.
Spurs should have had one foot in the last 16 after taking a two-goal lead at the Strahov Stadium on Thursday, only for Radek Cerny's blunder against his former club leaving the tie poised at 2-1.
In sub-zero temperatures in the Czech Republic capital Dimitar Berbatov opened the scoring and Robbie Keane doubled the lead, with Spurs sensing an easy second leg until Cerny dropped a hanging cross and David Strihavka prodded in.
Now all of Ramos' focus will be on the second leg next Thursday rather than the Carling Cup final the following Sunday.
"Before the cup final we have the second leg of this tie and all our efforts are now concentrated on this match, and before we finish it we won't be thinking about Wembley," said Ramos.
Keane added on five: "In the first half we played brilliantly, they didn't get a sniff.
"We came out in the second half and I don't know what happened, we knew they would come out and make it difficult for us. The second half performance was not good enough.
"We've won the game, that's the most important thing. But we wanted to get the job finished.
"There's still a bit left in this game, we'll get them back to White Hart Lane and there's no reason why we can't go through."
Ramos refused to single out Cerny for criticism despite his error.
"The mistakes can always happen, that is the world of football," said Ramos. "This time it was the turn of Cerny.
"It's quite possible that he seemed really nervous after the goal, more than normal.
"It must be very difficult for him to be at his home ground to play against his former club."
Keane added: "Things happen. He made a mistake but he's big enough to accept that."
Berbatov opened the scoring in the fourth minute when he steered in a volley after Jermaine Jenas' run was halted on the edge of the area.
Keane added his second on the half-hour mark when Jenas split the home defence.
"I think we really controlled the play in the first hour but we became quite nervous and could have achieved a better result," said Ramos.
"We allowed Slavia to react and find a way back and now we have a tough second leg to play.
"The match lasts 90 minutes and we have to take it like that.
We have to accept it. We could have achieved a better result, a more definite win but we cant change it."
Slavia coach Karel Jarolim felt his side relaxed after falling two goals behind.
"We knew there was nothing to lose," he said. "Radek Cerny helped us because he did not catch the ball but it was a good from our player."
