In summary, the city soccer tournament had four teams in group A: Naranja, Bleu, Midori, and Gelb. In the first round, Naranja finished in first place with 7 points, followed by Bleu with 6 points. Midori had 3 points and Gelb had 1 point. Each team played the other three once and the scores for the matches were found through trial and error.

My daughter needs my help, and I am stumped. Here is the problem:

In the first round of the city soccer tournament, the teams in group A finished as follows:
Team------>Goals For------>Goals Against----->Points
Naranja---> 4--------------->2-------------------->7
Bleu------> 5---------------->2-------------------->6
Midori---->1----------------->3-------------------->3
Gelb------>1----------------->4-------------------->1

A victory earns three points, a tie one point, and a loss no points. Each team played the other three once. What were the scores of all the matches?
