Match
Each object of the class Match represents a state of a football match. A match is played between teams from two clubs: a home club and an away club. Goals scored by players of either team can be added to the match object with the method addGoal, which produces a new Match object representing the updated state of the match. Each Match object is immutable.
Parameters
- away
-
the club whose team plays away in the match
- awayScorers
-
the players who have scored goals for the away team so far (in order for each goal; the same player appears multiple times if they have scored multiple goals)
- home
-
the club whose team plays at home in the match
- homeScorers
-
the players who have scored goals for the home team so far (in order for each goal; the same player appears multiple times if they have scored multiple goals)

Returns the player who scored the so-called “winning goal”. The winning goal of a match is the earliest goal for the winning team that is “necessary for the win” in the light of the scoreline.
For instance, if the score is 4–2 to the home team, then the third goal scored by the home team is the winning goal, because the winning team needed to score at least three goals to beat the losing team’s score of two.
More examples: if the losing team has scored 0 goals, the winning goal is the winning team’s first goal; if the losing team has scored 1 goal, the winning goal is the winning team’s second goal; and so on. In other words, if the losing team has scored X goals, the winning goal is the (X+1)th goal scored by the winning team.
If scores are even, there is no winning goal or winning goal scorer.
