What does the score in parentheses mean in World Cup scores (Ex. for Cze v. Gha the score was 0:2 (0:1))?

Answer 1

parentheses indicate the half time score

Answer 2

The score in parentheses mean how the score was at the end of the first half.

One of the teams is asign as the home team and the other as visitng team.
The score of the game is display x : y, where :
*The first number (in this case x) reference the home team score,
* : is used to separate the score
* The second number (in this case y) reference the visiting team score

So with this in mind, we have that 3:2 and 2:3 have diferent meaning, but both of them refer 5 goals
3:2 means 3 goals for the home team and 2 goals for the visiting team (home team won)
2:3 means 2 goals for the home team and 3 goals for the visiting team (home team lost)

The score 0:2 (0:1), means
* 0:2 The final score was 0 goals for the home team and 2 goals for the visitng team
* (0:1), show how the score was at the end of the first half time: 0 goals for the home team and 1 goal for the visiting team.
