How does the Football(soccer) scoring system work?

I’m looking at some results from world cup qualifying and trying to make sense of the scores. They will say somthing like 5:0 (2:0). I get that the 5:0 part is the final score of the match but what does the (2:0) part mean?

I played soccer for six years and one goal equals one point, very simple.

the (2.0) part would have been the score at half time, or if the match was a two leg game then (2.0) would of been the score after the 1st game

the score at half time

“thats it basicaly”

a 2 legged game is usualy played for qualifiers; one home, one away

The score at half time… every time a team scores they get one point.

the score in brackets is the score at half time
football is the most simple sport to follow
because if a player scores a goal he gets ONE goal for his team
not 2/3/etc.
