Since six goals were scored in the first half and the away side was leading at half-time, thepossible half-time scores were 0 - 6, 1 - 5, and 2 - 4. However, we are also told that the hometeam scored three goals in the second half and won the game. Hence the home team cannothave been more than two goals behind at half-time.
