Hi, Behnam A
You should look through the sentences as to which action happens first and later.
Also, I would like to draw your attention to that phrase "the first half," which is a clue for you. The result of the game is another clue. You can answer such questions on your own from now on, I hope.

I would answer it as "had won"
If there wasn't "had won" in the options, I would say "won"
If there wasn't "had won" in the options, I would say "won"

Hi,
The Past Perfect is commonly not used by native speakers if the sequence of events is clear without it.
This is such a case. The sequence of events is clear with just Simple Past.

Is this nuance valid in the exams?
If this question was asked in an exam in my country, you can be sure of that most of the students would answer as I did.(I'd like to say nearly all of them but some people think of that I'm exaggerating)
Meanwhile, what a great information you shared with us, Clive. I haven't realized such a usage in any grammar books I have or heard of my teachers, lec

You are right. I think so, too.
I came across such a usage (now I understand this better) in the topic of such conjuctions as before, after. Both simple past and past perfect are acceptable. However, it is accepted so since there is a time sequence here, which I have just understood better . We can make the same coment for these two conjuctions,too
Thanks for your answer, Clive
