Question

The six nation hockey tournament, held in Britain, had six countries participating - Britain, Argentina, Germany, Australia, India and Pakistan. The tournament comprised five rounds, such that every team played exactly one match with every team. For every win, a team gets 5 points. If the team won by a margin of 2 or more goals, it got another bonus point. For a draw, the team got 2 points and for a loss, it did not get any points. However, if a team lost by a margin of 2 or more goals, it got -1 point (one negative point) for that match.
The following table gives the tally of the goals scored, goals conceded and the points earned by the teams after the first two rounds of the tournament.

It is also known that the hosts, Britain, lost their first round match. However, they scored at least one goal in every match they played.

What is the number of goals scored by Australia in its first round match?
