each team played 3 matches (every other team once)

there are a total of 5 wins, so there must be a total of 5 losses
___ D must have lost 3 times
___ which means they had no draws

A and C both scored one total goal and had one win
___ they both beat D, 1-0

D scored one goal total, against B

A had a total of one goal against; losing to B, 1-0

D had a total of 4 goals against; one each to A and C; and two to B, losing 2-1

B scored 2 goals against D, and one goal against A; that means 3 goals against C

the B vs C score was 3-0
