5-4 = five to four?

Please look at this sentence.

"He faced Almagro serving for the match at 5-4 in the third.".

By what do I have to read "5-4"? "five to four" or "five against four"?

Thank you for your answers in advance.

When you quote something, all you need to add are the quotation marks. You are not writing a sentence.
